Hello,
I have a fairly simply set up with two Mikrotiks. I’m trying to get a second Wifi network (on the same subnet) working on my cAP lite.
Router A - hAP ac (192.168.0.254)
Wifi AP B - cAP lite (192.168.0.18)
Both are connected via an ethernet cable (from A’s POE port). A is the DCHP server. B is set to bridge mode. B has an eth and a wlan interface, both bridged with ARP enabled on the bridge.
Using the ping tool on RouterOS, I can ping both ways from A-B and B-A. So far so good.
When I connect my laptop to B’s Wifi network, I can ping B 192.168.0.18 from the laptop. In fact, I can get to B’s web interface. I cannot ping A (192.168.0.254).
After a few minutes, the problem goes away - I can ping A from my laptop and access the internet while being connected to B’s wifi network. If I connect back to A’s wifi network, and switch back to B’s - I have the same issue again. Wait a few minutes, and all works again.
Using wireshark, I noticed the following packet just before things suddenly started working
4611 300.552889 Routerbo_10:68:c9 Apple_d7:77:99 ARP 60 192.168.0.254 is at cc:2d:e0:10:68:c9
Any ideas?
