I've been at this all day, and I'm ready to tear my hair out.

I have a simple setup: Computer > Mikrotik > Network
Mikrotik: ether1 > Bridge > ether2
RB433AH

pretty simple right? Basically it's just acting as a switch and that's it. But when I try to use simple queues it dosn't effect throughput, and traffic is flatline. I tried to use mangle to tag packets, but still no traffic. and when I add a vlan to both interfaces and bridge, traffic is still nothing, although multiple vlans seem to be traversing it, with or without the vlan interfaces. What am I doing wrong? Will these functions only work if I'm actually using it as a router?

I have attached flowchart of the test environment.

Please help

enable use-ip-firewall in bridge settings.

I figured it would be somthing that simple/stupid.

Thanks.
