Routing problem, new setup

Hi guys, i have 2 x Cap XL AP'S, both wired directly into an internet connected Draytek router.
I has been trying to use CapsMan to configure both APs, but I found it confusing in the end and removed the config and configured them separately - all working lovely now, apart from...
When I reboot one of the APs, the other loses connectivity and i cant figure out why.
The IP addresses for each are configured using the DHCP server on the Draytek
Kitchen AP 192.168.1.201
Office AP 192.168.1.202
Any pointers as to where i might investigate please??
Thanks
Colin

Im confused, are these both just one flat network.
All users are on the same subnet??
If there were vlans per subnet that would make sense ( for example one could have a trusted subnets with two SSIDs, 2.4 and 5ghz
and the rest different vlans for diff purposes, guest wlan 5ghz, iot 2ghz, media 2ghz etc......

The answer to your question is yes, right now one subnet, one flat network, and i have connectivity to all my devices as required, however I've been looking at this guide to implement VLANs
viewtopic.php?t=143620, but i haven't started on this yet.
Right now though, when i pull the power from the Office AP, i am unable to connect to the Kitchen AP using WinBox, even though i am connected to the Kitchen AP via the Home SSID. Both AP's are directly connected to my main Draytek Internet router.
Thanks for your assistance so far
Colin

I don't see any problems in the config. Except in the point of office interface with the name home5 is not included in the bridge, respectively, the devices connected to the SSID home 5 have no access..
A couple of clarifying questions.
1. How are the cables connected to the access points? Is it cascaded or is it a separate cable?
2. What are the MAC addresses on the bridge local?
3. Can't you connect through winbox by MAC or IP?

Not interested in chasing a config. When you have a plan and endstate in mind will be happy to assist in vlans....

2. What are the MAC addresses on the bridge local? Colin: Office-18:FD:74:76:E5:CE, Kitchen-18:fd:74:76:e7:72
3. Can't you connect through winbox by MAC or IP? Colin: now i can connect....how odd.

Kitchen-18:fd:74:76:e7:72 is the MAC port, you need to set an individual MAC for the bridge (Admin MAC address) otherwise bridge takes MAC of one of the interfaces
You have two interfaces with similar names home5.0 and home5 in the bridge only one
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] band=5ghz-a/n/ac country="united kingdom" disabled=no mode=ap-bridge name=home5.0 security-profile=home ssid=home wps-mode=disabled
add keepalive-frames=disabled mac-address=02:00:00:AA:00:03 master-interface=home5.0 multicast-buffering=disabled name=home5 security-profile=home ssid=home5 wds-cost-range=0 wds-default-cost=0 wps-mode=disabled
/interface bridge port
add bridge=local interface=ether1
add bridge=local interface=home2.4
add bridge=local interface=home5.0
add bridge=local interface=masterh5
add bridge=local interface=masterh
add bridge=local interface=sonoff
add bridge=local interface=guest
