I haven't been following MikroTik's WiFi developments since I don't really use their wireless except sometimes as a client. After reading up on recent driver changes and doing some tests, I have a question. Do I understand it correctly that when using wifi-qcom-ac, the only way to use VLANs with WiFi is to create VLANs under Bridge menu, create slave wireless interfaces, add them to VLANs as needed, and enable bridge VLAN filtering?
On something like hAP ac2 just turning on bridge VLAN filtering will disable bridging hardware offload. I have been successfully using a number of ac2's for years without wireless and with the "old" switch VLAN method to get the best performance. It appears in this particular case where I need wireless+VLANs I will lose that.
Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
