= Important Notes =
 * This page describes the configuration of !MikroTik 5GHz and 60GHz devices with RouterOS.
 * It is assumed that the device already has a base configuration: see [[RouterOSBaseConfig]]
 * The following steps can be done via !WinBox or !WebFig.

= IP configuration =
 * Go to '''IP->Addresses''', add a new IP address
 * Enter the IP address and the netmask for the device from the database.
   * e.g. 10.12.310.2/30 for the address 10.12.310.2 and the netmask 255.255.255.252
 * Set the interface to {{{bridge}}}
 * Go to '''IP->Routes'''
 * Add a new route
   * Destination address: 0.0.0.0/0
   * Gateway: the IP of the router '''on the interface connected to the wireless device''', e.g. 10.12.310.1

= 5GHz setup =
 * Edit the interface {{{wlan1}}} in '''Wireless->!WiFi Interfaces'''
 * Set the Mode in the Wireless section
   * {{{ap bridge}}} for PtmP AP (master)
   * {{{bridge}}} for PtP AP (master)
   * {{{station}}} for PtP or PtmP station (slave)
 * Set the SSID
   * for a 5GHz AP:
{{{
ap-<direction>.<location>.ffgraz.net
}}}
   * for PtP Links:
{{{
<location1>-<location2>.ffgraz.net
location1 shold be the AP, location2 the station
}}}

   * Set the Frequency:
     '''TODO'''


= 60GHz setup =
 * Edit the interface {{{wlan60-1}}} in '''Wireless->W60G'''
 * Set the Mode in the Wireless section
   * {{{ap bridge}}} for PtmP AP (master)
   * {{{bridge}}} for PtP AP (master)
   * {{{station}}} for PtP or PtmP station (slave)
 * Set the SSID
   * for a 60GHz AP:
{{{
ap-<direction>.<location>.ffgraz.net
}}}
   * for PtP Links:
{{{
<location1>-<location2>.ffgraz.net
location1 shold be the AP, location2 the station
}}}
   * Set the Frequency:
     * '''Warning: Frequency can be set to values not supported by the device. Make sure to set a supported frequency otherwise you might lock yourself out by disconnecting a remote device. Use the Safe Mode feature if in doubt.'''
     * The range of a link highly depends on the frequency because of RF attenuation of oxygen.
     * For efficient use of channels, try the shortest-range channels first.
     * Frequencies in order from high to low attenuation (shorter to longer links):
       * 60480MHz
       * 62640MHz
       * 58320MHz
       * 66960MHz
     * On devices in AP mode (master), it is recommended to set a fixed frequency to avoid interference with other transmitters on the same site.
     * On devices in station mode (slave), the {{{auto}}} setting is useful as it scans all channels. This way the frequency can be changed on the AP without having to reconfigure the station. This automatic scanning can be a disadvantage for longer links that might be interrupted more often, as reconnecting will take longer.
   * Set the Region: Some frequencies are only allowed in some regions
