I have just loaded my first HSMM-MESH node firmware v 0.43 into a WRT54GS v.2 router. Everything appears to be fine except even though I have the WAN port connected to my home network, it doesn't show that it has obtained an IP address nor has an internet connection.

All three, WiFi address, LAN address, and WAN address, show Link.

I have the WAN set up for DHCP, and I have Mesh Gateway checked.

Any help on where to start troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated.

Check the link lights. If those are lit;

   Check the main status page -- Does it show an IP for the WAN?

     If not;

        Do you have a DHCP server of sorts on the network the node WAN is attached to?

        (I personally have static public IP's so I would have to set mine manually)

     If IP showing, then follow upstream to see if the next device in line has connectivity.

Internet (WAN) link light is are on, connected to a router with a DHCP server enabled. Status page does not show IP address for WAN.

I have verified that the cable is good and that the DHCP server is working.

The upstream router is not showing an connection on the related port nor an IP address assigned.

If I set up a static IP, the upstream router can see the IP address and MAC address, but I can't ping the router from the MESH router.
