I apologize that I may have forgotten to mention that I do have a few users who 
I don’t mind using me to network their printer to their pc because printers are 
such low bandwidth and it eliminates a lot of calls to our help desk by 
allowing it.  That’s why P2P blocking is not really what I wanted to have to 
resort to.

 

The Chromecasts use a lot of bandwidth though.

Enable client isolation on the AP and that will force communications through 
the hotspot.

Lots of people are abusing the fact that I allow peer-to-peer connections on my 
APs (Ubiquiti).

They are tying up bandwidth sending video, and then if they have a poor signal 
they are complaining to me.

I want people to use a local router and set up a LAN on their boat, rather than 
using my WAN as their own personal LAN.

 

I would like to block Chromecast but not restrict peer-to-peer.

 

According to some information I found,  the Chromecast protocol  uses a UDP 
transmission to 239.255.255.250 on port 1900 for its discovery.

How would I block that on the Mikrotik Hotspot?  I know I should be more up on 
firewall rules but I never can find the time to get deep enough into it.

 

The info I found (and it was all I could find) was on a Cisco site.

Thanks
