I am trying to set up an access point on a raspberry pi to add wifi to a network. I followed the instructions in Setting up a Raspberry Pi as an access point - the easy way, using systemd-networkd. Here I am targeting the configuration with a network bridge.
RPi
wifi ┌──────bridge──────┐ wired wan
mobile-phone <.~.~.~> │(wlan0) br0 (eth0)│ <-------> router <-----> INTERNET
\ | / DHCP-server
(dhcp (dhcp 192.168.50.1
from router) from router)
The bridge seems to work in principle, devices get an IP assigned by the DHCP server and the correct gateway, and I can ping other devices on the wired network from a laptop over wifi, including the Raspberry as well as other computers.
However I can not ping the router from the laptop or reach the internet, and I cannot ping the laptop either from the raspberry or a computer on the wired network.
IP forwarding is enabled.

Edit: I am using a RPi BCM43143 dongle for wifi, with a Raspberry Pi 2B Rev 1.1 running Raspbian 11 (bullseye)
Any help is appreciated to get this to work
