Re: Windows update + Proxy

i will suggest you setup a firewall rule to capture the destination ip address of the server responsible for the update and setup a firewall rule to drop traffic to the server so as to make use of the internet service.
hope this will work????

Re: Winbox from AP to Station

to my understanding, i will suggest that you create a bridge on rb-1.
then add the port where rb-2 is connected to the bridge.
good luck
