I need your help with this issue:
my WAN router (TP-Link) has no more available network port to use for additional TV(IPTV). My Mikrotik(v6.47.8) LAN router has available ports. I want to use one network port of Mikrotik (ether9) for connecting TV.
I agree no routing way would be the easiest way, but I want to keep my internal network separate from main router controlled by service provider.
Maybe you could give me direction how this can be done… Thanks
In that case, you can create another bridge (br-wan), move all the IP configuration from the ether1 to that bridge, and make both ether1 and ether9 member ports of that bridge. If you use two Ethernet interfaces connected to the same switch chip for the connection to the TP-link and the IPTV, set hw=yes on the two respective rows of /interface bridge port, and hw=no on the other ones on the same switch chip, the IPTV traffic will be forwarded by the switch chip, not loading the CPU.
