The other router of the point-to-point link requires the operation mode set to ad-hoc, the System
Service Identifier set to 'mt', and the channel frequency set to 2412MHz. If the cards are able to
establish RF connection, the status of the card should become synchronized, and the green status led
should become solid immediately after entering the command:
[admin@wnet_gw] interface pc> set 0 mode=ad-hoc ssid1=b_link frequency=2412MHz \
\... bitrate=auto
[admin@wnet_gw] interface pc> monitor 0
synchronized: yes
associated: no
frequency: 2442MHz
data-rate: 11Mbit/s

As we see, the MAC address under the access-point property is the same as on the first router.
If desired, IP addresses can be assigned to the wireless interfaces of the pint-to-point linked routers
using a smaller subnet, say 30-bit one:
[admin@MikroTik] ip address> add address 192.168.11.1/30 interface aironet
[admin@MikroTik] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS
0 192.168.11.1/30
1 192.168.0.254/24
[admin@MikroTik] ip address>
The second router will have address 192.168.11.2. The network connectivity can be tested by using
ping or bandwidth test:
[admin@wnet_gw] ip address> add address 192.168.11.2/30 interface aironet
[admin@wnet_gw] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
