Help with air link and settings

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with some basic info on settings and optimalization.

I have a house with cable, and set up an airlink to 3 other houses on the other side of a fjord.

  1. Currently the base house is on 1 lan, and the 3 client houses are on another common lan. Is it possible to set this up so there is 1 lan in each house? There is a cisco router in the base house that is DHCP hosting. Mikrotik Clients and Wifi routers are configured in access point mode. So basically is it possible to make this into 192.168.1.xxx, 192.168.2.xxx, 192.168.3.xxx and 192.168.4.xxx?

  2. The Mikrotik routers are not on the internet, so I cant upgrade them with software etc. Will it work and will they be on the internet if they are part of the 192.168.87.xxx domain? I can also not connect to them using IP-adresses, only by using MAC adresses. The vendor has set them up this way.

  3. The vendor sold this as a 500Mbit system. I get at maximum 100Mbit. I am aware that when sharing the bandwidth is shared, but if only 1 house is connected and the other systems are turned off, thats when I get the 100Mbit. Any tips on optimalization would be appreciated.

  4. The Mikrotik Base station is in a house not owned by me and I do not want to disturb the owners to much. If I change settings in Base Station from House 3,I have a very high risk of losing communication. Can I set this up such that I have access to the Base Station from the outside world, e.g over the internet through mobile internet? I already have access to the Cisco router through DDNS.

Am I correct in assuming that this system should be set up with the .87-subnet IP-addresses? And that would be the first step of accessing them both from winbox and from outside?

I am afraid of touching anything that would break my connection.

If I change the Base Mikrotik from 192.168.88.200 to 192.168.87.200 I should then be able to change the rest of the clients without permanently losing access to the Base station?

And if they are on the same subnet, I also assume I can use port forwarding to later access the Mikrotik clients.

I will be doing this from House 3…

Some success.

I have put all clients on 87-network and using port-forwarding to allow for external connetion of WinBox to Base antenna and all clients. That means I will be able to experiment a bit since I can always contact the Base through external internet.

Now for the speed part…
