You need to install the staging version of Wine from WineHQ (https://winehq.org/)

Just open your terminal of choice and use the following Brew commands to install Wine for MacOS;

brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-staging


After the installation has completed download the latest Winbox x64 (it has to be 64 Bit!)

download-winbox


Just move the winbox64.exe file to your programms folder

To start winbox just use this command in the terminal:

wine64 "/Applications/winbox64.exe"

there will appere an error this is more an "information" just press Cancel (Abbrechen):

error-wine-mac-m1

Then the Winbox will open and the Neighbors discovery will work:
