Re: Access to router lost after setting EtherType to 0x88a8. Recovery possible? [SOLVED]

Clearly any port using the bridge is not going to work. But just to confirm you tried Layer2 winbox using MAC address of the ether1 while connected to it?

Did you have RoMON enabled on it, if so it MIGHT show up on another router with RoMON enabled.

Re: RoMON and VRF's [SOLVED]

RoMON works at the ethernet level, using non-IP ether-type. So it has nothing to do with routing tables or VRF.
It only works on "ethernet-like" interfaces, and a VRF "interface" is not ethernet-like since it does not have a MAC address.

RouterOS really needs an mDNS solution out of the box (both as multicast and Wide Area Bonjour).

You'd assign the MACVLAN the public IP address "manually" in /ip/address, instead of using /ip/dhcp-client. For intents in the firewall/routing, it's a different layer2 interface – which means all example that expect an ethernet interface name, should work same with MACVLAN.

Re: Mikrotik hAP ax³ adventures with Cable Modem Technicolor CGA4233vdf ( DOCSIS 3.1 coaxial cable) - Working

Bridge mode to hAPax seem like the right call – essentially your turning it into just a cable modem. So while you'd lose Wi-Fi from the Technicolor, I'd imagine the AX from hAPax3 is going to be better than the Technicolor. And routing/NAT on hAPax3 certainly more flexible in this mode. In terms of ...

Perhaps. But TCP MSS adjust doesn't help UDP nor allow normal PMTUD to work.

But running a ping test with DF bits be right call – you'd know if it's an MTU issue.

Slow network could also be an indication of a MTU/MSS issue. You dont seem to have any change-mss mangle rules?

Building your own 5G modem isn't that expensive or challenging. Perhaps. Everything is relative.

Re: LTE Band priority

On the R11e-LTE, that's how it works AFAIK. e.g. it's essentially of filter on allowed bands. Have you tried without ANY band filters? There is a lot of subtleties in how a band is selected out of your control (e.g. at the end of day, the tower/carrier is in charge what happens)

Nothing stops your inter-vlan bridging configuration, per se, but you make a mess of STP that needs to be managed (e.g configuring MSTP, or disabling STP everywhere). But certainly the doc aren't going to recommend bridging VLAN together because of all the side-effects. Doesn't mean you cannot do it...
