Greetings,

I am brand new to this having attended a recent state RACES convention where Mesh was presented.  I got really jazzed and bought 4 routers off Ebay that arrived today.  One is a WRT54G Version 3 and the other three are WRT54GS Version 1 units.  All are running DD-WRT v24 SP2.  I was ready to flash the first one with mesh using the Admin/Firmware Upgrade when I vaguely remembered that you have to do something to dd-wrt first (erase parameters?  Killer?) so I stopped and started this post.

What is needed to mesh these units?  It looks like there are 3 nodes in the SL Valley so hopefully I can connect to someone.  I plan to mount one node outside, another in the shack, and setup two for portable use in public service situation.

Any help is appreciated

Hi,

What is needed to mesh these units?  I am in Utah and it appears that only 3 nodes are on the map in the Salt Lake Valley so hopefully I can connect to someone.  I plan to mount one node outside, another in the shack, and setup two for portable use in public service situation.

Any help is appreciated

Greg,

Just one update to your excellent overview of MSMM-MESH operations in our area:  The URL for the York Region Amateur Radio Club has been changed to www.yrarc.org.

Anyone got a suggestion for a nice CHEAP ip camera out there?

Looking for a couple but everyone I have found online costs an arm and a leg to acquire :(

Looking at the price range of 25 dollars tops (if possible).

If I am reading the man page correct for gpsd, the port number would be 2947.

The man page can be found at:

http://gpsd.berlios.de/gpsd.html

IF (and I stress that 'if') I understand correctly, any program could then access that port on the WRT54G(s,l)

and gather that information directly if that port is opened up. Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Any chance you could do a quick and dirty write p on exactly the steps you used to set up the

Pi?

Interested in getting one but waiting for a little because I want to get some cameras to hook up.

With the Pi being so cheap (around 35 dollars before SD card), its an interesting idea to have

everything installed on one item.

Glad to see you guys on here! we have been working with HSMM-Mesh for a while here. We have been working with VOIP lately. If there is anything we can do please let us know!

I now have 3CX and the softphones working great here using port forwarding. I had some problems along the way but I am impressed with the actual ease of setup. I did try some of the linux software and had more problems setting them up than 3CX.

Hello I just read some guidelines from Rick Kirchhof, NG5V that said " Mesh nodes talk to other nodes using RF (wifi), to the internet over the WAN port and to computers and devices using the LAN ports". - Starting to use HSMM-MESH-

I have a scenario of tow independent networks, one is my HSMM-MESH network and the other one is my neighbor WDS network.

If I plug my neighbor WDS network into the WAN port of my HSMM-MESH router , will it be possible for me to access data and resources advertised on his on his WDS network ?

I know that it works with Internet when plugged into the WAN port of a HSMM-MESH, internet will be available to all nodes on the network. Will it be the same if the data feed is coming from another WDS or Mesh network ?

Thanks,

Chris
