If it already has DD-WRT on it, you can go into its firmware update and flash it to HSMM-Mesh without too much trouble. (usually easier than flashing in Lynksys')

Hi all.Still getting the network set up here.Have the home qth,work,eoc going.I have used various versions.Mainly 1 and 2.I buy them on the e-place usually $20.00 or less...The problem with that is usually you can not tell the version.Sometimes they do tell you,hi..I just picked up a version 1.It was already flashed with dd-wrt.Is it compatable with mesh? I am wanting to take one in the rv,But do I give up wrt in leiu of mesh?  thanks all john w5jmw

I  think a multi directional antenna is also a good option for getting good signal. Because this multi directional antenna works to transmit signals from multiple directions.

I have an option to buy one of these. Good for HSMM? This one is a bit different than the other T-Mobile router thats good.

At this time the tunnels are purely experimental and not ready for general consumption.  OLSR is very unstable when the tunnel is active.  Long running nodes have had several thousand olsr restarts.  We have new olsr code to try and new ways of tunneling to test.  We will be sure to let everyone know when the situation improves.

I came across this article describing using virtual tunnels with HSMM-MESH being under development, however I haven't been able find any current information on the status.

Is there a way to do this with 0.4.3 or are we still in the thick of development?

Got my HSMM-MESH node up and running. Indoors right now, but I'll be moving it to the roof with high-gain antennas for better range down the road.

No advertised services right now, however I will be adding a Raspberry Pi running a D-RATS reflector and a TeamSpeak 3 server. I'll also be adding a webcam eventually as well.

I have one wrt54g that I've reporgrammed and an external ~12 db yagi from ebay.

the yagi looks like this one, but with 13 directors.

Radiolabs.com claims 1 mile with it.

i purchased mine from ebay for ~$10 delivered: http://goo.gl/76h2Y

I haven't connect to another node yet.  I shuda gotten 2 wrt54g at the fleamarket.

Yes it will! I have two of the WRT54G-TM's. However, you must follow each step in the 4th post in the link below in order to get HSMM-MESH to work on this router.

I see from time to time on the map a Mobile HSM-MESH op.

What is being used mobile, please, and at what maximum distance can a mobile hold a connection?

Can the 2.4GHz models of these 800mw devices be networked into the Ham HSMM-MESH?

I am told that they may be available for $75. each.

Here is the specific device to which he referred (there may be others):

Here is the manufacturer's wite:

I gather that they are usually used to provide wireless Internet in apartment complexes, mobile home parks, rv parks, etc.

WDYT?

EDIT:  There is a very interesting discussion of a wide variety of devices, including Atheros, WRT54GL,

MFI-UBIQUITI Devices and more here:

Greetings!

We are just getting started setting up an HSMM-MESH network in the High Desert (e.g. Victorville, Adelanto, Hesperia) and surrounding areas.

If you would like to join in the network, or just this conversation, please introduce yourself to the group here.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing your HSMM-MESH node on the Map!
