Mikrotik. CAPsMAN. Crookedly works with the included Local Forwarding. Where to dig?

UPD.
There is a problem even if you just switch between two SSIDs on the point a couple of times. Of course, local forwarding is enabled on one, and not on the second.

So. Problem.
There are two irons at home. HAP AC2 (router, capsman) and hap ac lite (as an access point for watching porn habr in the toilet in HD).
Both have Local Forwarding/Cli to cli fw enabled in the datapath.
Bridges are specified in wireless->cap (it is the same setting that is royal for local Forwarding).
Everything seems to be working.
But it is worth walking several times from point to point and the device on AC lite loses the Internet. AC2 does not respond, AC lite is available. There is silence in the logs. At the same time, everything works fine for all other clients at the point. You go back to AC2 - the Internet appears. If you don’t go anywhere, then everything is restored after 5 minutes. It seems that some kind of protection against flooding is working out ....
PS I still can’t understand why the bridge field is in the datapath. In what way does it play a role?

So the epic has come to an end.
This is, unfortunately, a bug. The manufacturer is aware. "We've reproduced the issue and will work on a fix."
While HAP AC2 AND AC Lite are not friends with each other in CAPsMAN and Local Forwarding is enabled on AC Lite (and without it, AC lite has too high CPU load). Switching capsman to L3 only helped a little. The problem began to occur a little less frequently. But it still happened.
PS But since I wrote to the manufacturer at the beginning of March (and they were in no hurry with the decision), I put Ac lite up for sale and yesterday it was sold. And tomorrow Cap AC will come to me for a replacement, and, I hope, the problems will end. Well, in a small office (well, you understand) I will now also have a gigabit.
PPS By the way, I highly recommend having something like hAP mini in reserve. There was no electricity at the dacha all day, and this little one provided everyone with Wi-Fi from a power bank (it is always connected through it, a kind of mini UPS).

You probably didn't configure local forwarding and data path correctly. Perhaps they did not fully understand the meaning of these settings.
If upscaled, either the point itself ( local forwarding ) or the controller ( data path ) can manage wireless client traffic.
Plus, sometimes it happens that the bridge is not correctly assembled on the point.
If it is difficult to understand, it is better to reset the point without saving the configuration and reconfigure.
