alex_rhys-hurn,
/ ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting src-mac-address=00:01:29:60:36:E7 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=known_mac_conn
/ ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting connection-mark=known_mac_conn action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=known_mac

I have big questions about the practicality of this.

If I use this mangle scenario in the context of a hotspot, it seems that I now have to create a mangle rule for each new mac authenticated user, as well as a hotspot user profile, AND a simple queue.

How can I tie all that together into one easy way to add a customer?

Any hints anybody?

prerouting or forward ?? in the manual they said forward and now you used prerouting !!! can anybody tell us why and wich one is the correct
setup ..
