bonding causes problems with accesing wireless devices

Hi guys!
we have setup exactly like this on wiki:
http://wiki.ubnt.com/Mikrotik_bonding

Also in our case, we do not have ip address on bonding interface, but on bridge interface which bridges bonding interface and LAN interface together. All devices (two mikrotiks, and all 4 wireless devices) are on same subnet. Now, problems occur when we are trying to access wireless devices, every two or more pings are dropped (communication is very slow, basically you cannot log in to web ui because of this). I assume this is because we have round robin load balansing and mikrotik get confused when sending packet to one or another wireless device.

How can this be solved? Anybody with same problem?

Thanks!

I'd try:

1. Enabling RTSP on bridge

If this doesn't do the trick, try:

2. Remove bond link from bridge and try routing instead

disable one wireless link and I remember that it will work.

Hmm, but the whole idea is that i wan't two active links at the same time.. i know that disableing one link will do the trick probably..

I also have one more question regarding voip.. These links are to be used for voip communications, and after doing some testing (with specialized hardware), packet are dropping when sending more amount of data, 8% of data is droped on 64-byte packets. Is this mikrotik limitation or what? Latency and jitter are rock solid, but on 64-byte things start to be problem..
