Is this the correct way to use PPPoE on my network? Seems I can't admin my wireless gear (192.168.100.0/24) on the outside of the router. NEED HELP! Thanks

Where are you connecting with your admin workstation? On the switch? Or are you trying to admin going through the MikroTik (from the WAN side)?
If you'll be connecting your admin workstation to the switch and assign it an IP address within 192.168.100.0/24 then it should just work.
If you're planning to admin from the WAN side, I'd suggest to implement a VPN access for the admin workstation on the MikroTik router to get access to 192.168.100.0/24 via VPN.

Set up vpn how?
If this VPN is the best way to do what I need, how do I set it up, I have very little knowledge of setting up a VPN to my workstation.
On same network
BTW, don't know if it matters or not, but I am inside the network. I am on the WAN side of the router, but inside the network.
Re: Set up vpn how?
If your admin workstation is windows based, then probably PPTP will be most simple to set up for the VPN, see http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/interface/pptpIf this VPN is the best way to do what I need, how do I set it up, I have very little knowledge of setting up a VPN to my workstation.
Please note that should you decide to implement a VPN based management then you'd have to assign an IP address from 192.168.100.0/24 to the inside interface of your MikroTik and set this as the default gateway on the gear you'll be managing, otherwise it will not be able to pass traffic back through the VPN tunnel to your admin workstation.

Should I set an Ip
I was under the impression that from the manual, you were not supposed to give the pppoe interface an ip address.
