RoMON only showing some devices

RouterOS General
1

Hello!

I have seen this issue previosly with other devices but it never matters to me until now.
I have 1 router Mikrotik with 2 wan connections, it has romon enabled for all LAN interfaces (WAN interfaces are forbiden)
I have many APs Mikrotik inside different VLANs, all with RoMON enabled for all interfaces
In “/ip neighbors” in the router, I can see all APs, also in APs I can see the router. Also I can ping everything.
But when I try to connect with RoMON to an AP, only 1 AP is there, also if I go to “tools->romon->discovery”, only one is there (The same one)

Is anything related with the routerOS/firmware version?
Could be a switch between router and AP blocking romon packets? What should I look for in switches?
Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Damián!

I have noticed this also when I use a RoMon secret, I can only see few devices not sure is it a bug

More information needed.

Are you using a secret or no secret?

Are you using the same secret on all routers?

In /ip neighbor, do all routers show all neighbors that should be appearing, or are some missing?

Hello,

Thanks for your responses.

I am not using any secret in any device (Is it recommended to set a secret?)
There are 1 edge router (CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+) and 5 APs (all Mikrotiks, different models)
RoMON is only working with AP1 and AP2
In “/ip neighbors” I can see:
From Router: all the APs and 2 Switches
From AP1: Only the router and 1 switch
From AP2: The router, 1 Switch and the other 4 APs
From AP3: The router, 1 Switch, AP 2 and AP5
From AP4: The router, 1 Switch, AP2 and AP5
From AP5: The router, 1 Switch. AP2, AP3 and AP4

This is weird, any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Damián

Sorry, AP3 and AP5 had disabled the RoMON, maybe when I checked, I only see AP4.
Now RoMON is working with AP1, AP2, AP3 and AP5. RoMON with AP4 is still not working, I tested by disabling RoMON in AP4 and enabling this again with no luck.
I added a secret also (The same in all devices), still cannot see AP4.


Thanks in advance.
