I'm trying to do static routing using actual devices. Below is my setup:

enter image description here

The left router is a MikroTik RouterBoard hAP lite.

The right router is a MikroTik RouterBoard hAP ac.

I want to ping from laptop to laptop.

I configured static route on both routers. Here's the routing table:

It works fine on packet tracer.

But in actual, I can ping every address from each laptop except the other laptop.

Both laptop have gateways.

What could be wrong here?

  • For a device to be on-topic here, the manufacturer must offer optional, paid support. Unfortunately, MikroTik does not offer that. You could try to ask this question on Super User.

Static route configuration in both R1 & R2 router configuration is correct . According to your configuration should be able to establish connectivity among both laptop s without any issues.

  1. check whether gateway is reachable from laptops , verify it by pinging gateway from laptop .
  2. check ARP table in router whether Mac address of laptop is visible with ip address of laptop

Sh ip arp | i 192.168.88.252

  1. Check connectivity from router whether 192.168.77.254 is reachable from router1 ,Verify it with pinging from router1.

If it's real time please verify firewall status on laptop end . If it's windows laptop please ensure windows firewall is off.

  • "ensure windows firewall is off" should really be "ensure windows firewall permits ICMP echo". Never switch off a local firewall permanently.

  • If end point antivirus like macafee , Escan or any other antivirus is install at PCs then window firewall can switch off ..
