newbie needing help
Hello, All..
Awhile back I flash a wrt54g with 0.4.3 firmware and configured it as a mesh, and wrote all my info down for the unit. My attention was to play around with the hsmm-mesh with a few hams in my area. Well, those hams haven't respond back to me so the unit has sat for a couple months collecting dust. But my problem lies in that I just got my hands on wrt54gs, so light bulbs goes off Ill do my own work with the two unit I know have. Fired, up the original wrt54g v2 with 0.4.3 firmware to update it to new broadband firm. Went to setup and my user/password is not working. I have even tried the original root/hsmm still will not let me into setup. Have I screwed myself or is there away for me to reset the user/password so I can update this unit. I want to get this original unit updated before working on the other I have which is a wrt54gs v2. I was also wonder can a wap54g access point be used with hsmm in some way, I was given one along with the wrt54gs I just received? My goal with this is to learn hsmm-mesh, along with networking and operating a server. Seeing I have 2 routers that I can hopefully get hsmm-mesh running on I want to use one of my raspberry pi's as a server hooked to one node and then the other node to my laptop. Eventually make one unit totally portable to run in my truck. My last question, if Im not pushing my luck on the other questions is; Im have been skimmer threw the Linksys wrt54g ultimate hack book, are any of the mods they talk about in the book benifical with using the wrt54g router with hsmm-mesh? Thank, you for any help that can be thrown my way Jason Hopkins KF4PMY aj26scm@yahoo.com Kingsford Heights, IN

Thanks Al. I guess I'm just not familiar with the GRE tunneling aspect. But I'll get there.
So far, everything has been reconfigured on both tunnel nodes and we now, on the OLSR page, see the Tun1 come up with the IP 192.168.80.1 on mine and 192.168.80.2 on the remote node. I've manually ran some of the IP checking scripts from the latest Document to see if the proper responses comes up and they do. However, we are not seeing each other in the mesh status. Now, I did read that the tunneling won't work well with BBHN V1.0.0, but our routers were already configured with it and I thought to leave them as is just for testing the connectivity of the routers through the tunnel before re-flashing back to V0.43. Could this be the reason or should we at least see each other even in the newest firmware version?
Also, is there a way to test different components of the installation, the configuration of the nodes, the port forwarding of the Internet router or other modules? I understand that so many things could be the cause, but like anything, there must be a methodical procedure for trouble shouting. Thanks again for all your help. We're getting closer and I'll keep re-reading. Ron |

Hi Ron,
The "internet" routers used in our mesh network are all using a netmask of 255.255.255.0 on the LAN side and our mesh node routers when in NAT mode are also using this same net mask on the LAN side.
I don't think we are using 255.255.0.0 as a netmask anywhere in our mesh network here in Barrie.
In my case, my internet router is issuing an IP of 192.168.2.36 (netmask 255.255.255.0) to my mesh node I use for GRE tunneling. Therefore (as shown in my document) I used 192.168.x.x for my tunnel IP's.
If you are looking at Johan's document, then yes he shows that they are using 1.1.1.x IPs (netmask 255.255.255.252) for the tunnel.
Hope I answered your question. 73 |

Al: Yes it does help. I understand networking pretty good, I'm still getting my feet wet with the programming of scripts. I simply wasn't sure where these in the script were coming from because there is no mention how the router was getting it's IP address from the Internet router and what subnet mask you were using.
So that being said, and if I now understand correctly, if I want to follow the scripts in the document as is, I just need to change my subnet mask on my Internet router to 255.255.0.0. Correct? And if that's the case, then I would highly recommend it to avoid any possible conflicts with current devices connected to the Internet router running on 1.x network.
I'll give it a try and see what happens.
The last question is do both the Tunneling routers have to be properly configured and running before one sees the other? Not to pass traffic but just see the node.
Thanks very much for your help. We're really anxious in getting our Mesh deployed throughout the counties here. |

Hi Ron - I'm no expert at this stuff; but in both the S51tun and S52update files, the IP's assigned to the tunnel can be 192.168.1.x but don't change the netmask of the router. The netmask of 255.255.255.252 is only entered as part of these two scripts (in the ifconfig lines) because they are establishing a point-to-point tunnel (this netmask only permits 4 IP's with 2 usable host addresses - the two ends of the tunnel).
Hope this helps. 73 |

Thanks Al. I've downloaded them and I tried to make the necessary changes. I don't quite understand the S51tun file configuration. The instruction says that the Internet router provides the node an IP in the range of 192.168.X.X. Mine and the other end gets it in the range of 192.168.1.X netmask 255.255.255.0 Are we to change the Internet Routers netmask to reflect this? Ron

Success/Failure for Different Router Models
I have personally tested the WRT54G3G-ST and it works just fine. There are report that the WRT54G3G-AT also works just fine too (someone else on this forum has the G3G-AT). These two different devices are virtually the exact same unit and are like evil twins to one another and the WRT54G3G...meaning they only accept firmware with a different 4-byte header when flashing from stock Linksys firmware. I will post those two firmware images in the next 24 hours. |

YVW Rich. Even though there is a East NY, NYC/LI is big enough they should have their own. With all them big buildings, y'all should be able to have one hell of a mesh network around there soon. If those NYC landlords we have heard so much about would be nice enough to agree :-) Happy Meshing! KTF P.S. I guess I should go make up one for L.A. now, too, so as not to play favorites, huh?

First off....
OK, I guess I bit off the big piece here...
I asked for this geographic area to be added to the MESH forums so all us "BIG APPLE" types can have a centralized posting place... (thanks Jim)
That being said it would be nice to have everyone check in and give their info on where they are in setting up/running/or planning their MESH node(s)
The possibilities are endless....
The DMR guys can use it to run the DMR links..The ARES/RACES guys can use it for emergency response like we had during SS Sandy and other related weather events here on LI, and there are just so many more uses for it that can't even begin to be realized as yet...
So here is my info so far..
I currently have three WRT54GS's up and running locally in my QTH.. (N2PPN-0001 through 0003) I am running a few tests on them and will be looking for homes to set the first two up in... I have put out "feelers" to a few places I would like to set them up at, just trying to not be too intrusive yet with antennas and outdoor "adornments"... for the time being they are all up, running and are waiting for something to do...
OK, that's my story so far...
Next...

WRT-300N V1.1 Bricked??
I know this is an old thread, but in case someone else searches and ends up here: The WRT-300N v.1.1 and higher versions use significantly different hardware vs. WRT-300Nv1. Since the firmware makes a point of saying "v1," don't assume it will work for a WRT-300Nv1.1. http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt300n1 |

SSH Access with Putty
Hi,
If you want the login to happen without you giving the password manually, you can use "pageant" (part of the Putty suite) to store your key (you feed it the .ppk file).

Feature Request
Would it be possible in a future release to be able to add channels below channel 1? Will the WRT54's operate on channel 0 or -1?? I am in the NYC Metro area and 2.4 WiFi channels are quite busy around here... For a large network (planning more than 50 nodes by springtime) to run efficiently we might need to have option to drop "off of" commercially available channels and dip a little further into the Ham Spectrum....
