Unable play multiplayer LAN games over wireless connection

RouterOS General
1

Hi

We have wireless point to point connection setup between two houses. With the current setup we can see and access shared content on each other’s PC but we cannot play multiplayer games of the connection.

The setup is as follows:

House 1
RB433 with two wireless cards, one card connecting to a WUG in the area, wireless card two set to AP mode to which the wireless card at house 2 connects to.

Wireless Card ip address is 192.168.1.1
PC IP address is 172.25.9.x

House 2
RB 411 with one wireless card that connects to wireless card two at house one.

Wireless Card ip address 192.168.1.2
Ethernet 1 on RB411 is 10.1.1.1 (DHCP Server)
PC IP address 10.1.1.x
I added a route 0.0.0.0/0 wlan1 which enabled me to see and access the shared content on PC’s in house 1 and added the same route on the RB433 at house 1.

I also added scnat masquerade on interface wlan1 on both routerboards.

I’m not sure, but LAN games may require both computers to be on the same subnet to work properly and communicate, and cannot use NAT. You may need to adapt one of these situations to fit your need.

Could you tell me how you set up that bridge exactly? I"m having basically the same problem.
