Hello

I have a problem that started after I downgraded my router and has stuck since. Or maybe it is a combination of newer routerOS versions and a bug in them...

I have a setup at home where ether1 and ether5 are bridged, bridgewan, all firewall rules are moved to the new bridge instead of ether1. I do this because I have my tv box on ether 5, it needs to be outside of the firewall rules. The rest of the network is connected to ether 2-4 or through wifi as normal.

What happens everytime I upgrade my router is that it reboots with the new firmware as intended, my tv box is working but none of my computer or other items can connect to the internet, I can connect to the router and it seems to work as intended but I cant get out on the internet.

Any ideas, is this still unclear?

Have you compared the export before and after the updates?

Have you compared the export before and after the updates?

Could you explain how to do that?

Jut run "export" command in console window. You can save it to a file and make a second export to file so you can compare them to see what has changed during the update.

Hi, did that, this is the result, several lines look like this one:

OLD file:
add comment="default configuration" dhcp-options=hostname,clientid \ disabled=no interface=ether1-gateway

New file:
add comment="default configuration" dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=\ no interface=ether1-gateway

it looks like this in several places, there seems to be a "\" added could that effect something?

Disconnect the television and reboot the router. With the television disconnected do your PCs have normal internet access? I expect they now should. This will be because your ISP only allows for 1 connected device. I think you need to review your understanding of what ports your TV needs to pass through the router.

The back slashes are line wrap characters. Just expand the terminal window before running export command to get as long ines as possible.

I will try that, but what would the long term solution to this be? If I reset the router and set all my setting from scratch it works as it should, eth1 and eht5 are bridged, tv works and all wireless and eth2-4 work as expected...

As I understand it the general solution for this would be to have a switch from the outlet that divides the connection to my tv and to my router. But I want to avoid this setup and just use my router as both the switch and the router.

Then the files are identical, I think it is related to what jebz wrote.

If the export files are identical then there shouldn't be any difference between the two configurations.

That is the thing, there is no difference, except for the date and version in the beggining of the file. I setup my router in the same way every time I update it.

I'm thinking to try what jebz said by disconnecting the tv before installing the update...

An update to this, it does not help to disconnect the ethernet cable from the tv before restart or so...

But I have made my life more simple now...

It is enough to just remove the new bride that I create and then create it again.

Could someone explain this to me?
