It sounds like you are seeing some of the traffic being missed by the NAT rule. This is a known (and irritating) issue. I'd suggest sending a request to supp...@mikrotik.com, as they will be the ones to fix the issue. I'm not certain they will get it fixed, but it has been an issue for a long time, unfortunately. My understanding is that this NAT issue is a linux kernel problem that is not unique to MT. > Shouldn't there be only one host ( the ip of the cpe router ) > per cpe mac because the cpe is in router mode and the hotspot > only knows and cares about the cpe's dhcp assigned ip address.
