Is there any reason Ubiquiti and WRT54GS V2 wont mesh with the latest code 1.1.2?

All routers are on channel 1 and using same SSID "BroadbandHamnet-v1"

Node names:   Ubiquiti:  wa0d-5     WRT54G: wa0d-1

Ubiquiti: 10.10.10.55 and WRT54 10.10.10.11 both have subnet 255.0.0.0 settings

LAN mode is:  5 host Direct

WAN: DHCP  with mesh gate selected on WRT54

Thanks,

Randy

Attempting to run a 1.1.x device on an old V1 network will NOT work.

The RF Protocol was jumped to V2 due to a number of changes (see release notes) in 1.1.x

Upgrade all devices to 1.1.2 and try again under a -v2 net.

This is the reason we have the -V# designator on the WIFI network to differentiate between versions of the protocol as from time to time as we improve the solution the RF protocol may change in one way or another (as it did in this case) that is no longer compatible with older releases.

Thanks for the reply, and trying to help.  Good note on version to use -v2 with 1.1.2.

Noted in my earlier post both routers are using the latest code 1.1.2 and same SSID.   Changing SSID was good idea in general here.   SSID's being the same should allow them to play.   if they were different ie -v1 another had v-2 then I'd understand them not working.  

I did change the SSID to -v2 on both routers (good idea to beacon version number).   The results which is what I expected, still doesnt see each other.    

Not sure why they are not playing togetheir yet.  

Any other ideas.... ? 

WA0D  are both (all) nodes running the 1.1.2 firmware?  You can see that from the status screen.  Then both  SSID's must match.  The other thing to look at is the channel number.  All should be on 1.  The WRT's would jump to an off channel node but UBNT will not. 

I am assuming the the UBNT is an M2.  An M5 would need to be connected with an Eithernet cable between the LAN Ports.

I have connected a WRT54G, and a WRT54GL to my ubiquiti nodes with no problem.  I believe I have connected a WRT54GS as well, but the GS may have been prior to 1.1.2 but after 1.0.1.  I have used them all at one time or another.

Please confirm:

• None are Ethernet-connected to each other, unless as Clint has pointed out... they're on different bands (the only network they share is the RF Mesh on 2.4 GHz)
• You haven't modified the OLSR Secure key
• The Linksys nodes haven't decided to mesh on a channel other than 1

Guys,

Thanks for the quick relpys!   I found the problem to be Ubiquiti firmware which I had helper upload few weeks ago, but wasnt at the latest updated version for WRT54's.    

I just reflashed the Ubiquiti router and all 6 routers are seen now in the mesh. 

Now to run over to EOC fix and update that Ubiquiti router firmware too, which was my first indication something was a miss when war driving arount town here with WRT54.

Thank you all for replying and help here !

Randy,WA0D  

PS:

The last post and this onw was through 3 meshed routers which included going through Ubiquiti M5H router to WRT54,  to WRT54 with WAN gateway.
