and the export configuration file as attached

is there anybody can help me?

it is normal hotspot gives dhcp you will only be able to see those ips given by the hotspot according to my experience you have to disable the hotspot for the time you want to ping clients or you ping using the ips delivered by the hotspot

you ping using the ips delivered by the hotspot, what's that means?

If I need to ping the clients on the hotspot interface, I found I must use a out-interface icmp masquerade on the hotspot interface. If ether2 is not the hotspot interface, change that.

Code: Select all

/ip firewall nat
add chain=src-nat action=masquerade protocol=icmp out-interface=ether2

I have to add all Hotspot interface(bridge interface) and wireless to NAT as you said. but it still doesn't work,

the 192.168.0.10 still can't ping 192.168.88.10, the system return "Destination host unreachable"

but it working for ping 192.168.88.1

You know the device using 192.168.88.10 must be logged in to ping it, right?

edit: Or you need to bypass that ip through the hotspot if it can't login.
