I have two Linksys WRT54G3G V1.1 modems with the beta ver 3.0 firmware.

I set one of them to Mesh Access Point. However, although I can connect to router via wi-fi, I cannot access it on that mode or ethernet. Doing IPconfig shows that it has an address of 169.253.133.2 !

Pressing the reset button does nothing, have tried the 30/30/30 trick but that will not work, presumably because of the Mesh firmware..Help!

I'm certain it is done after 30 mins. Pull the network cable out of your pc, plug it back in, and go to localhost:8080

Thanks. That got me past the error message.

The page changed to "System - Flashing..." and "waiting for changes to be applied"

It's been like that for over 30 minutes.

How long should it take?

Email me if you would like to try and connect to my vtun server here in TX.

Hi, I'm new to HSMM-mesh and would like to flash my Ubiquiti Bullet M2 HP with the HSMM firmware.  The M2 currently has this installed:

"OpenWrt | OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09-beta2 | Load: 0.34 0.16 0.06

I downloaded:

"bbhn-3.0.0-f5a9861700111e3cbbb3ed41a430bf1b6b786bea-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-bullet-m-squashfs-factory"

and when I try to load the file I get this error:

"The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform."

It looks like DD-WRT doesn't like the HSMM image file format.

Any ideas how I can get the firmware on there?

Welcome to the Houston forum!

Will a high noise level effect a stable connectivity and through put ? We are testing a small network in a high wifi user enviorment where we encounter the loss of stable contact and yoyo-ing of the % readability even over short distances. Does anybody have a solution to this situation? 

We have found that by shifting from say channel 1 to channel 3 an increase of 2 bd was noticed in the signal to noise ratio..

can this be overcome by increasing the power, or does one make things worse? We are using the linksys wrt54gs.

Please do not revive old dead threads.  This one has been inactive for over 4 months.  Since that time new versions of software name come out and old data may no longer be relevant.

so I have miniweb hosting a simple web page on a netbook connected to my W6JWP-104 node. I set up a service on the node to link to the web page and when I rebooted and checked it shows up on the W6JWP-104 mesh status page. And when I click on the link it goes to the web page. The problem is when I try a different computer connected to my W6JWP-101 node and go to the mesh status page the W6JWP-104 node show up but the web page doesn't show up as a service.

Arrrgh! It won't allow me to attach the screen shots!

Help!

I think there is a security risk in running gre over the internet.  However, given the non-authenticated, non-encrypted nature of BBHN, the same risks exists for the mesh itself.  I try to keep logging in of remote nodes to a minimal as you never know who could be sniffing.  As with all things, it's a risk analysis tradeoff.  I think there's a spot for both gre and vtun methods.

Like everyone has already stated, the tunneling is great for users who can't directly reach a mesh.  I think there is great potential in tunneling for interconnecting meshs.  It's a way to bring together everyone and create a world wide mesh network.  

Absolutely agree, any use of tunnels is soley a hold over measure and should NOT be used as a final solution should only be used as a stop gap measure to bring up more interest in an area.  Any use otherwise is asking for trouble.
