Winbox not picking up Mikrotik with automatic ip

Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:43 am

So i have my main mikrotik router set up with dhcp server as normal
I have 2 CPE, one PTP Bridge CPE and the other PTP Bridge AP but thier IPs is set to automatic, one on WLAN (or was it WAN) anther other on LAN
Now i can see both mikrotiks is registering in the dhcp of the main mikrotik router, made their ip static and also can see their mac addresses
But for some odd reason winbox can not connect to them via those IP or their mac addresses given to them by the dhcp server???

...check if there is a bridge filter active or a fitrewall rule in the inbound chain than would prevent access from your path in via winbox-client

I still could not figure out what it was but the problem seems to be related to the default settings when setting up the network. I resolved it. On each router the bridge is used as the main LAN, WAN is deleted and WAN ports is just plainly added as bridge ports.

It seems like the device is only picking up 1 band for this Fixed LTE-A connection, Band 3 at 20 mhz earfcn, this is more like a Fixed LTE connection

PTP Bridge CPE and PTP Bridge AP WLAN setup:
WLAN ports placed on bridge of each device
The LAN of each device is set to Bridge
WAN has been removed from the interface list
Both WLAN of each device is using nv2 superchannel password security enabled
CPE is set to Station Bridge and the AP is set to AP Bridge
AP nv2 Cell Radius is set to 10 km (the CPE and AP is 418 meters from each other with tree vegetation between them)
HT AMPDU Options: 0, 1, 3
HT Tx Chains: 0, 1
HT Rx Chains: 0, 1
HT Gaurd Interval is set to long
Country is set to South Africa for each device
All other setting not mentioned here is most likely set to default
I am getting 150 mbps transver rates between them on UDP bandwith test
