Setting up MikroTik cubeG 60 with 5AC60ADPAE point-to-point devices
You're dealing with devices that already have network settings and are connected to your laptop. Each device is pre-set with its own IP range (like 192.168.88.2 and 192.168.88.3) and operates in bridge mode. Whether they're on a different subnet than your home network (192.168.100.0/24) doesn't affect their current configuration—just ensure they can communicate across those ranges. Changing their whole setup isn't necessary unless you want to unify them under a single network. If you're using WinBox, it should handle these connections smoothly. For deeper guidance, consider consulting someone familiar with router configurations or network bridging.
Do you think the default settings are sufficient, or would some adjustments be necessary? It seems like you only got the unboxing and basic setup details, not the full configuration. Adding a password before mounting might help, but whether the current setup meets your needs depends on what you require.
These gadgets aren't well known, but if they act as bridges then the IPs are just for admin use and should function properly out of the box. It will be simpler to handle them (like updating firmware) if you assign your own network IPs. For instance, my Ubiquiti Litebeams detect updates automatically and notify me when it's time to log in, which takes a few clicks.
I updated the firmware to the newest release during testing. To improve security, you should replace the IP addresses 192.168.88.2 and 88.3 with a consistent range such as 192.168.100.x for better organization. Additionally, consider implementing stronger authentication methods and network segmentation to enhance overall protection.
