I'm trying to set up a mesh node. I have a Linksys WRT54G v 3.1 router. Following the online directions, I flashed it with the file 'bbhn-3.1.0-wrt54g-2.4-squashfs.bin'. Everything seemed to work as advertised. When the router came up as a mesh node, I did the initial configuration with a username of WA7SKG-100 and a password that contained a number and an "@" sign. It accepted that and rebooted as the instructions said it would. However, after the reboot and it identifying itself as WA7SKG-100, when I try to go into setup, a popup window asks for the username and password. When I enter it, the box just blanks and asks again for U/P. At first, I thought maybe I forgot what password I set (I did break for dinner). I finally reflashed with tftp and started over. This time I wrote down the password. Same problem. Reflashed again and reconfigured, this time using an alpha only password. Same problem. I cannot get in for any further configuration after setting a username and password.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I need to get this going for Field Day.
