I've temporarily relocated because of the fires and am currently ensconced at a relative's home armed with enough compute power to run a small country. My MikroTik routers do not want to talk to the local Telstra BigPond ADSL router, specifically a Thomson TG782T. There's one for sale on GumTree if you want to see pictures: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/castle-hill/modems-routers/bigpond-adsl -modem/1207553894 I've changed the wlan1 interface to mode=station and the ssid="TheCorrectSSID". I've changed the default security profile to set mode=dynamic-keys authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk wpa-pre-shared-key="ThePSK" wpa2- pre-shared-key="ThePSK" If I change only the SSID and PSKs in the above settings, the MikroTik connects to my phone's hotspot immediately. My phone and several other devices can connect to the Testra router. Is there some trick I'm missing here? This isn't routing or anything like that, it's more fundamental - the wlan1 in station mode never gets to "Running" state. I've tried a hAP Lite and a 951G-2HnD.
