I would *HIGHLY* recommend just using another wifi AP  instead of mesh access mode.  Get a router with DD-WRT or Tomato firmware, then, you can secure the wifi AP with WPA2 security.

Just new to this and purchased a few Ubiquity Rocket M2s to play with.  I have successfully setup 2 of mesh nodes and all works if I connect using ethernet.

I was going to the standard ubiquity firmware for Wifi AP and then I saw the Mesh Access Point option thinking that this might be good to try.  It seems to connect OK and if I use manual IP addresses I can access the mesh node.  However I can no longer get DNS to resolve for the mesh node names.

Have I not clicked some option in the mesh access point settings?

Thanks in advance

My friend and I have been attempting tunneling.  We think we have everything setup correctly but as the subject says...

I am running through a microwave link and he has the Verizon "Fusion" package.  Being that we are dealing with dynamic IPs we went to noip.com and got our domain names setup.  The DDNS updates have been setup.

First question is, will tunneling work with dynamic IPs?

In the "Tunnel Server" dialog it asks for the client node name.  My question is is this the mesh node or the router domain name?  I trying to figure out how it knows where the mesh node is if it only has the mesh node name. 

Help!

Hi there, 

I am trying to setup a VPN client on a Nanostation M2.

Installed a clean version of 3.1.0. However I have noticed the following error when running the client install script.

* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-tun. * kernel (= 3.3.8-1-bbdfd84029335dca3e2e14f66fb51759) *  * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-tun:Collected errors:

Note the bit in red.

Then I decided to do some more digging and the kernel version on the 3.1.0 firmware is

Package kernel (3.3.8-1-d6597ebf6203328d3519ea3c3371a493) installed in root is up to date.opkg install kernel

Note the difference in version. It is almost as though the kernel package or the kmod-tun package has been upgraded somewhere and not kept in line.

The downside is that the VPN will not connect at all. When doing a lsmod there is no tun module listed which means that the module is not loaded and the tunnel won't be able to establish.

When putting the VPN in debug mode this is what I see.

Has anyone else come across this?

I would suggest making sure to do every step exactly as in http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/68-firmware-installation-instructions.html. I know they read kinda technical lumpy, but once you find the right section, you should be able to get it.

This is my first attempt to setup an HSMM net.

I have a Linksys WRT54GS V1.1.  I successfully updated the firmware to 3.1.0.  I can enter the basic setup information (node name and password), but after the router reboots, none of that data is saved.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have followed these instruction for trying to get my HamChat service to advertise and still have no joy. using bbhn 3.1 on Rocket M2. I was able to load with out issue and can manually call up. However is not an advertised service. Can you help?
