First off, thank you very much for your input and feedback, I really appreciate the help you have so freely offered.
Apologies for the delayed update here, work has been a little wild the last couple days.
As mentioned earlier, I have added the `cap-wifiX` interfaces to the bridge but they show in the config as follows:I have attempted adding the `cap-wifi` interfaces using CLI and also using the GUI. They show in the bridge dialogue but go like this ^ after attempting provisioning, showing as "unknown" in the GUI.
Of course, the CAPs are still showing as before, "--no connection to CAPsMAN, managed locally" while the CAPs themselves show that they are managed by CAPsMAN.
EDIT: I can see all 3 APs in the RemoteCap tab of the WiFi menu.
I am beginning to wonder if there is maybe something incorrect on the Firewall config? I have essentially kept the default config as it came out the box though I have moved some of the rules around, notably putting all the blocker rules last. The CAPs are connected to a switch (also a MikroTik) which in turn is connected on ether2 on the Router.
I have attached the current config again with only very minor redactions in an effort to share as much relevant info as possible.
Once again, thank you for your assistance in getting to the bottom of this issue!
Edit to add: I have enabled logging on all "block" rules of the firewall and while reviewing the logs for an unrelated issue, I noted a few interesting entries.
I can see the CAP connect:
and disconnect:
This seems to be happening repeatedly for all the AP interfaces.
And checking DHCP log messages, I see some ARP conflicts: and these all appear to be the CAP radio MACs? I think so though I see on the switch that each of the ports connected to the CAPs have 3-4 MAC addresses associated.
I think this may be the cause of the issue here but I have no idea what is causing it or how to fix it!

I can see the CAP connect:
Code:
***:FF@cap-wifi5 connected, signal strength -64
Code:
***:FF@cap-wifi5 disconnected, connection lost, signal strength -67
And checking DHCP log messages, I see some ARP conflicts:
Code:
Detected conflict by ARP response for 10.10.0.205 from **:**:**:**:**:FF
