Router drops broadcast packets to be forwarded

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

let’s say I have two network interfaces:

ether1 - 10.10.10.1/24
wlan1 - 10.10.11.1/24

Packets between the two networks are getting correctly forwaded as long as it’s unicast.
Now I have a machine on the wired network (10.10.10.3) that sends UDP broadcast messages with a destination address of 10.10.11.255. I would expect these packets to get forwarded by to router just like all the other traffic, but RouterOS just silently drops all of them. While I understand that broadcasts may be misused for network flooding, I can’t see why my packets don’t even get into the forward chain.

Is there any way to make RouterOS not drop all the broadcast packets between the nets?

Thanks!

Subnet broadcast is sent only to devices belonging to the same subnet.
