I am having difficulties setting up wifi on a hAp ax2 router. I narrowed down the problem to fast-forward setting on the bridge.
The router is meant to be an internal access point. The client is able to connect to the wifi, receives ip address from the dhcp-server (this is not the access point), but after that no communication, can’t even ping the dhcp-server. After a very long time (5-10 minutes) eventually begins to work.
Unchecking the “Fast Forward” option for the bridge has instant effect, the communications starts working.
RB951G-2HnD works with this option set, but that might be for other reasons.
Here is my configuration (simplified and tested - not working):
# 2025-04-11 14:48:14 by RouterOS 7.16.
#
# model = C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD
/interface wifi security
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk disabled=no name=MyWifi
/interface wifi
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] configuration.mode=ap .ssid=MyWifi+ security=MyWifi
set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] configuration.mode=ap .ssid=MyWifi disabled=no security=MyWifi
/interface bridge
add name=lanbridge protocol-mode=none
/interface bridge port
add bridge=lanbridge interface=ether1
add bridge=lanbridge interface=ether2
add bridge=lanbridge interface=ether3
add bridge=lanbridge interface=ether4
add bridge=lanbridge disabled=yes interface=ether5
add bridge=lanbridge interface=wifi1
add bridge=lanbridge interface=wifi2
Packages: routeros and wifi-qcom.
No firewall filter/nat whatsoever.
No ip address no dhcp-client.
Is there another setting I should set? Or disabling fast forward is the way to go?
