wifi bridge troubles

Squeebus · May 17

I bought a wifi bridge system rated for 600M and have them aligned and wired up all according to the directions just fine. I have them 164M apart. It goes from my starlink router, to the POE adapter, to the master bridge. the subordinate bridge is connected to POE adapter, to a netgear nighthawk ax3000 master. Both are on the same channel. Both working as intended.

I have two problems with it. One. To set it up I have to change my IP4 whatever settings. When I do that, I can login to the bridge website and see what is what. BUT I have no internet on my desktop anymore.
Second. I have no internet on the subordinate side. I am connected to the wifi, but its connected without internet.

Bridge is a Binardat Outdoor Wireless Bridge point to point from amazon, dont judge me im poor.

What IP subnet/range is your LAN on? What about the bridge devices?

Post screenshots of your router's LAN setup page and the bridge devices' setup page(s).

I dont know what any of that means. I have almost zero patience for anything tech related so I solved my own problem with ethernet couplers and 600ft of wire. When they are on the same channel, dead nuts pointed at each other, only 164M apart with a 500M range, even the lights on them indicated they were paired and seeing each other and not working, ive done more than I should have had to do.
