VAP not responding to probe requests

RouterOS Wireless Networking

I am having an issue right now with some small wireless cameras (2.4ghz only, g/n) I just bought where, when they try to connect to the SSID I provide it, it will probe and there is no response from my virtual AP using RBcAPGi-5acD2nD-US.

I used wireless sniffer to watch the broadcast for probe-request and did not see a probe-response from any MAC address my VAP is on, or any frequency I use.
I did however, find that when I connect these cameras to the SSID on the Master interface ‘wlan1’ it will send a probe-response to the camera and connection is successful.
I don’t think this is a camera problem since I can connect it successfully to my ASUS AC WAP that is also setup as a virtual AP, and an older RB951-2n using master interface.

I even went as far as copying the exact settings from the RB951-2n to the RBcAPGi-5acD2nD-US wlan1 (2.4ghz interface) and the cameras still can’t connect to the VAP.

Here is the config for the VAP and its master:

[admin@AP1] > interface wireless print

Let me know if I can sniff or provide anymore information.

Thanks!
