Need help on setup DHCP sever on RB411

RouterOS Beginner Basics

I have 2 RB411’s. I want a point to point link from RB411A to RB411B
on 192.168.1.0/24. I want a DHCP server on RB411B on 192.168.2.0/24. Bellow is how I tried.

RB411A:
interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no mode=bridge band=5ghz ssid=ROB
interface bridge add name=bridge1
interface bridge port add interface=ether1
interface bridge port add interface=Wlan1
ip address add interface=bridge1 address=192.168.1.60/24
ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade
ip dns set allow-remote-requests=yes
system identity set name=RB411A

RB411A Connects wirelessly to RB411B:

interface wireless set wlan1 disabled=no mode=station band=5ghz ssid=ROB
ip address add interface=wlan1 address=192.168.1.61/24
ip address add interface=ether1 address=192.168.2.1/24
ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade
ip dns set allow-remote-requests=yes
system identity set name=RB411B

If I set it up like this I can’t ping 192.168.1.60 (RB411A) from the ether1 but I can from the Wlan1. I add a bridge
with Wlan1 and ether1 as ports to fix this but then I cant add a DHCP server on ether1. It seams if ether1 is used in
a bridge you cant use it as a DHCP.

This is the most basic function of any router It should be simple. What am I missing. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the gateway for the 192.168.1.0/24 network? Have you set a route on the gateway to 192.168.2.0/24?

Thanks for your help. The gateway for 192.168.1.0/24 is the modem = 192.168.1.1. How and where do I set the route on the gateway to 192.168.2.0/24?

You will need to set a route on the modem something like dst-address=192.168.2.0/24 gateway=192.168.1.61

What modem are you using?

I went to Routes - IP - Routes:

Made Route Dst. address 192.168.2.0/24 with Gateway 192.168.1.61 result :

DAC (Green Flag) 192.168.1.0/24 wlan1 reachable
S (green Flag) 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.1.61 unreachable ??? -
DAC (Green Flag) 192.168.2.0/24 ether1 reachable

BUT IF I SET GATEWAY TO 192.168.1.60 then it is reachable- this address is on the other router. It seems to me that Mikrotik OS is full of mystry.

You put the route on the wrong router. It needs to go on the gateway of 192.168.1.0/24
