I have four routers, two gl's, two g's. Loaded firmware, did all the things in the instructions. OLSR is grayed out. I do not see any of the routers in the list. I have had the routers up to 30 feet apart and as close as 10 feet. No Joy. Where do I start to troubleshoot this issue?

Are there any living breathing people on this forum?  Someone could at the very least flame me, that's better than claiming plug and play and then offering no support.

I'm here. I'm traveling but will try to help when I get back home. Do you have pc's attached to all four routers? HSMM look the same on all four?

Thanks for responding. Yes, two routers had Laptops connected, two did not. All four were on and in different rooms - about 30 feet apart. I had S/N/R but no OLSR. The Routers were donated to our ARES/RACES group by a local Business that does WIFI installs. The Routers did have a WRT load and reloaded with linksys firmware and tested before we received the routers. I have reloaded the routers three times, once from inital software from web site, then reloaded directly from the texas website by internet connect on router, no joy. Two Routers are "G's" and two are "GL's". All have stock antennas.

I still have four Routers loaded with HSMM-MESH software that I can not use because I can not get any support. Any suggestions would be great.

Id need to know a little more about the specifics about what condition the units are in/steps already taken.

If you look at http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/images/stories/hsmmmesh-step-by-step.pdf from the Getting Started page, everything has been done (changing the node name to your callsign+suffix, changing the password, save and reboot) ?

The appropriate firmware for each model was used? (Im just verifying the easy stuff first)

On each router, what is the node name showing at the top?

If you click the AUTO button, you get the signal report and/or waterfall?

Its just kind of hard to troubleshoot something we cant see and dont know its history.

Id be willing to take a look at them if they were to get shipped down. I have had success bringing bricked units back to life, except one that appears to have bad memory in it (it wouldnt even boot to where you can get the mesh status screens though).

If the step-by-step has been done exactly, but still no OLSR, then Im curious if there is some remnants of the previous stuff that was on them, and they need a good nuking/reflash. Or if its something entirely different.

As you can see from the post dates, it was back in Oct when I posted the first request.  I will have to dig the routers out of the junk box and set everything back up to get the information.  It will be a day or two.  If you review the other posts, some of your questions might be answered. I will post again when I get the information. The routers were loaded with Open WRT but were reloaded with Linksys and tested my the company before being donated to us. Thanks for responding. Ray
