Just loaded latest firmware (bbhn-3.1.0-wrt54g-2.4-squashfs.bin) onto a WRT54g v2.2 with linksys firmware on it, followed the Firmware Installation Instructions by AD5OO.

Everything went fine through step 3, then it went bad at step 4, when I go to browser (http://localnode:8080/) there is no response, LAN or wireless.

What did I do wrong and how do I recover? Do I dare to reset it? This is my first try at doing this.

Thanks, Tom

Three things first come to my mind:
1) Did you unplug your network cable, wait about 10 seconds, and then plug it back into the node? What port did you plug the network cable into?
2) Have you tried flushing your internet browser cache and trying again? and
3) If your computer is WiFi-enabled, have you tried turning that off?

Do any of these search results help you out?

Thanks for the help.

After everything being off over night, turning the wifi off and two or three try's to log on to the BBHN node it WORKED.

I completed step 4 to configure the mesh node it works, only thing is if I go back to SETUP it asks for a user name and password, root and hsmm do not work.  What is it now?

Other than that I guess I have a working mesh node, no one else in the area to check it out.

No problem. Glad you got it working. As for the password, it is what you set it in step 4 from the bullet "enter a Password (twice)." The username remains the same: root.
