I think that's because pseudobridge attempts to treat every ethernet-side mac address as an independent client connection to the AP (so that AP 'sees' multiple registrations from just the one device) - thus the AP mac address appears in the bridge on multiple interfaces - since STP is intended to detect when the same mac address appears on more than one interface and shut down interfaces receiving those dupes, STP 'does its job' so turning stp off prevents active shutting off of dupe interfaces... something like that, anyway. one of those unexpected situations where 'smarter' platform like mikrotik appears to the uninitiated to work poorly compared to 'dumber' options :-D Cheers! -----Original Message----- From: Public <public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au> On Behalf Of Roger Plant via Public Sent: Monday, 18 March 2024 12:17 PM To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Cc: Roger Plant <rplant@melbpc.org.au> Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] MT as a "media converter" - wifi to wired A bit late, but Often disabling rstp can help with station-pseudo bridge. (Not sure why...) If the AP has some sort of broadcast/multicast optimisation enabled attempting a bridge mode is unlikely to work.

The bridged solution will probably work perfectly too. I'll let you know if it does.
It didn't. wireless mode station-pseudobridge-clone no dhcp-server, no dhcp-client wlan1 and LAN ports bridged wide open firewall filter no nat wireless is associated and running ... but a node connected to a LAN port does not get a DHCP address from the phone. With a working routed solution my interest in troubleshooting this has waned a bit, so I think I'll leave it at that for now.
