Probably an easy one but I am new to this.

so I have mikrotik with ether1 connected to my local network with ips 192.168.1.0/24 nd on ether2 hotspot running with ips 192.168.2.0/24

i want when i am connected to my local network to be able to access ips on ether2 and the other way also.

Can u please advise?

you should be able to do this by default if i'm not mistaken... can you ping IPs in the same subnet (hosts on your local network)? any other routers in the network? what is gateway on hosts in your local network?

What type of device, and are you using the default configuration? Have you tried using ports 2 and 3?

I also have the same problem. I use RB750G. Looks like the Mikrotik Firewall is blocking the access of ether-2 from ether-1. Maybe a simple port forward could do the job. But please can someone point me on how to do this; be it port forward or something else?

The default configuration for a RB750G is that the ether1 is the WAN port and 2-5 are the LAN ports. Protecting the LAN from the WAN is it's job. It also want to get it's address and other setup via DHCP from the upstream provider, so AFAIK it doesn't default to anything route-able.

If you're connecting LAN devices to the router you're better off starting at port 5 and working towards port 1. While it's possible to configure all 5 ports as LAN ports, unless you're trying to restrict traffic between parts of the LAN (which means learning how to set up firewall rules and possibly queues) you'd probably be better off with a unmanaged or managed switch.
