OSPF + WEP

RouterOS General
1

I have experienced serious problem running OSPF on a WEP secured link.

The link is running between AP(RouterOS 2.9.41) and client(RouterOS 2.9.35). When WEP is disabled, OSPF routes are distributed fine. In the second case - WEP used - OSPF hello packets are send by AP but not received by client. In the opposite direction - from client to AP - hello packets are distributed without any problems even if WEP is used.

I suppose it has something to do with the wrong broadcast packet handling when using WEP. Do you know a working solution for that bug?

there should not be any problems using wireless encryption and either of routing protocols.
please check again your network settings, is everything as it should be.

As I wrote before, OSPF is working with WEP disabled. Other settings are untouched. I try to figure it out using WDS, although it seems to be dirty and inefficient. BTW is someone using WEP and OSPF? Try to send me your working configuration and used RouterOS version.
