WRT-150N after installing firmware for 150.
I've updated the shopping guide. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we don't have a collection of these routers to test the software on, and we've received little feedback on what does or doesn't work.
http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/images/hsmm_docs/WRT54Shop.pdf "Please report success/failure/problems to http://broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/viewpostlist/ forum-2-hardware/topic-674-successfailure-for-different-router-models.html There is software on the BBHN web site for the following routers.
WRT54G3G – Confirmed to work WR850G – confirmed by one user with some problems WA840G v1 only - unconfirmed WE800G v1 only - unconfirmed WRT300N_v1 (ONLY version 1. The v1.1 and higher versions don't work) -unconfirmed
WRT150N – several people have reported that they have failed to load software successfully on this model" |

wx5u,
Hey, thanks. Good to know. No sense trying to solve an unsolvable problem. The wrt54g-v3 that is winging its way to me ought to work better.

WRT-150N after installing firmware for 150.
I need to update that list. We've decided that the USR5461 doesn't work any more. It doesn't have enough memory. I'm beginning to think the WRT150N and some of the other routers may not work, either. I haven't been able to find anyone who had succeeded with flashing them lately. Maybe it worked before, but doesn't work with more recent versions of the software.
[KF5JIM 2014-04-14- 07:23:27]: There is software on the BBHN web site for the following routers.
- USR5461
- WA840G
- WE800G
- WR850G
- WRT150N
- WRT300N_v1 (ONLY version 1. v1.1 and higher don't work)
- WRT54G3G

KF5JIM,
Thank you for that piece of info. Just knowing that this has happened to others is reassuring. I have wrt54g v3 on the way from eBay. I will make that my next attempt. Most of my networking experience comes via Netrom and Flexnet on the AMPRnet. There is always a learning curve with this stuff.
I'd love to have two up and running by field day.

WRT-150N after installing firmware for 150.
The 172.27.0.2 address is strictly for nodes setup in AP mode. You would be interested in 172.27.0.1:8080 or localnode:808.
Just because there is software available on the website for a particular device does not mean that device is fully supported. I've modified firmware to get the .bin file to install on unsupported devices. To my surprise, I was able to configure the device and upon reboot, it failed during bootup. My only solution: To TFTP the original stock firmware to the device and use it as a normal WiFi router until I learn more information about the device and what it would take to get it supported.
From the supported hardware pdf:
Members of the Broadband Hamnet™ (BBHN) community have installed the firmware on hundreds or thousands of WRT54G series routers.
We have produced versions of the firmware for a number of other routers, but don't have much experience with using these routers. You may find some things work differently from the way WRT54G series routers work.
Please report success/failure/problems to http://broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/viewpostlist/forum-2-hardware/topic-674-successfailure-for-different-router-models.html
There is software on the BBHN web site for the following routers.
- USR5461
- WA840G
- WE800G
- WR850G
- WRT150N
- WRT300N_v1 (ONLY version 1. v1.1 and higher don't work)
- WRT54G3G

Another follow up:
I must have changed a parameter somewhere. Maybe I made a boo-boo with the IP Address? Anyhow, just ordered WRT-54g from eBay. Will burn it MESH when I get it and hopefully, it can tell me if the WRT-150 is working and what IP address it is utilizing. Then I can get into it and change any errors. Please let me know your thoughts.

more follow-up:
tried assigning static IP of 172.27.0.100, subnet 255.255.255.0. After checking with ipconfig, I saw the new address in the network adapter. Tried accessing the router through browser using 172.27.0.2:8080 - no luck.
Repeated procedure using static IP 172.27.0.5 - same results. Negative. |

Follow up: I saw this posted in another thread. I guess it applies to my situation.
"Your 169.x.x.x address simply means that your computer cannot properly get an IP address from the routers DHCP server." |

Northeastern Ohio Mesher
Very new to MESH. Like I just bid on the routers and will find out tomorrow if I get them.
I am from NE OH. (Twinsburg)
I intend to set one up in my location.
I have read all the info that I have been able to find on this system.
But still have a couple questions.
1. When I get my router set up, will it just run on its own once it is set up??
2. Do I have to have a computer connected to it all the time or only when I need to make changes to it.
3. When I connect my computer to it, it should then act like my "Cable Internet" connection ????
Thanks
Bob

WRT-150N after installing firmware for 150.
I am new to MESH. I am using a Linksys WRT-150N router. I found the firmware installed it fine. I logged in to localnode:8080 and was able to set NY2M-100 as node name and added a password. The reboot was as expected, but it never recovered from the reboot.
I tried a page refresh - no luck. I tried the cmd line entries that were the next step and got a "media disconnected" error. I have not been able to recover from this. I rebooted my PC under Ubuntu instead of Win 7. I am able to get a network connect (100 mbs) as follows: Device: 70:5A:B6:66:6D:E2 IP: 169.254.10.23 subnet: 255.255.0.0 Default Route: 0.0.0.0 (which I suspect may be the problem?) I keep trying to connect to localnode:8080 and get "can't find server." Same for attempt to direct connect to 169.254.10.23. I do not see any broadcasts on the wireless router side. I scanned with my tablet. Any guesses on what I need to do? Thanks Bob - NY2M

New Linksys router built with OpenWRT in mind
Discussions have actually already surfaced a couple months back on this router. It will require a new build. The new Linksys (ARM based) appears to be a much closer cousin to the Ubiquiti gear (without the ruggedness) than it is to the older WRT54g's which are based on the MIPS/Broadcom architecture. |

Thanks to everyone for their input and advice. I am always cautious, to the verge of paranoia I think, regarding security of my home network and computer. As was mentioned above, this is just a computer network and it pays to be careful.
Thanks again. |
