these boxes are interconnected by their Wireless WAN interfaces. each box has static routes to the other ends lan and wlan etc subnets, with the gateway of the other ends box.
box 2 can ping everything, including box 1’s LAN and WLAN subnets.
box 1 can ping 192.168.11.2 but nothing further (eg not its LAN interface or anything behind it)
Its like box 2 is not routing between cards. both firewalls have no entrys.
Im new to mikrotik and routing and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
To me it seems that you may have better luck putting your 2 Mikrotik boxes into a wireless bridge. Would be much easier for you unless you need to have it some other way.
If you think that this will help you, try this:
Put box1’s Wlan card into AP Bridge mode.
Put box2’s Wlan card into station mode.
Configure the frequencies, etc to match up and get a good link the be VERY careful when you do the following.
Bridge the necessary ethernet interface with the WLAN interface and you’re done.
If you get locked out somehow use the MAC login tool with Winbox to get back in.
That won’t work out of the box. You cannot bridge a wireless station interface in RouterOS.
You have to use WDS for that. There are several examples on how to achieve a transparent bridge in RouterOS in the docs/wiki/forum.
There are no wireless cards in the boxes, they are wireless accesspoints connected via ethernet, you could say its just like having them networked via a cat5 cable.
