I know I'm missing something! I purchased the preconfigured Wireless Wire CubeG-5ac60aypair to replace an urgently needed bridge that went down. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the system to work. Help!
I connected one cube to a port on the router using the accompanying PoE injector, and the other cube to a laptop (also via the PoE). I'm testing the cubes only a few meters apart and assuming that the LEDs show signal strength, the connection appears to be excellent.
I also assume the Ethernet port on the laptop then should show a connection to the network, but it does not; it does not even recognize that anything is plugged in.
None of the documentation indicates whether one cube is the "master," but I have swapped them with the same results.
Despite my wanting the cubes to be "plug 'n' play," I went ahead and downloaded the Winbox application, but it doesn't recognize the cubes (based on the default IP addresses listed in the documentation).
Unfortunately, the vendor only does email support, and before I go ahead and email MikroTik directly, I thought I would throw my question out here.
I'm trying desperately to get a radio station studio-to-transmitter-link back on line. Any help will be welcome!
