Great video by the way. I haven't attempted to get into the Bridge settings yet but feel more comfortable now watching this video. Hopefully once I make these changes I'll see the computers and such on the other side of the of the bridge
Good setup video. For over 2 years I have been using a different WifI Bridge product that has been up 100% of the time (except power outages). My range between the two points is around 350ft. Mine is only capable of 100Mbs, not 1000Mbps, which is plenty fast for what I need. I paid around $100 on Amazon. It appears to using the same hardware technology that is in video because the setup steps are identical. The only difference appears to be the speed and housing. I question the advertising claim that it can go 3.1 miles. Maybe in theory it can go that far, but I highly doubt that there is a real world setup that can extends that far. If it did, I would predict the signal would be so weak it could not be used. However, most people will have far more realistic line-of-sight situations on their property (a few hundred feet). Basically, you need to be able to see the two end point locations from each other. If you can't, it is not likely to work. I would be surprised if the signal were usable at a half mile line-of-sight.
So my POEs are plugged into the 100 and the routers are plugged into the 1000. Does it make a difference? Should I go back up and switch the cables around?

Good video, I still stand by the Mikrotik Wireless Wire Kits !
MikroTik is a good product too

Help me understand why you would want networking equipment to have dynamic IPs?
Network flexibility. If you have to change the router it makes it plug and play. Also to avoid network conflict
