Current firmware does not appear to support adjusting the power level.  I have a WRT54G v2.2 that I loaded with Tomato and that software gave me the ability to adjust the power level all the way up to 1.5W.  Of course I kept it to .75W so as not to overheat it.  Are there plans for (or possibly already available) a way to adjust the power level of the WRT54G under HSMM-MESH?

one of my nodes will not accept my common password I set for all 4 of them.

So, how does one reset the password?  I can ssh into the node and set that password, but it looks like the ssh password and the web password are two different passwords

thanks

Got it fixed now.

It seems when you change this setting, the IP Address changes to 172.27.0.2

I was able to login and change the setting back.

I need to do some more reading!!

That's exactly what I was thinking!

For point to point you could use directional and microwave, and for broader coverage, the others.

I wonder if one donated to the HSMM_MESH development team might help.

I'll chip in some $ I assume they need two.

Using a WRT54GL and WRT54G both with 0.4.2. Had two nodes N0PGH-TEST1 & N0PGH-TEST2 that saw and communicated with each other just fine. Laptop connected to each one.

I was exploring the software on N0PGH-TEST2 and in Setup changed the node type from Mesh Node to Mesh Access Point. I saved changes without thinking.

Now I cannot get an IP Address. I've tried resetting, 30-30-30 reset, etc. I've also tried manually setting laptop address to 172.27.0.5 and pinging the router at 172.27.0.1 with no luck either.

I can still connect via wireless to HSMM-MESH or N0PGH-TEST2 on this router but do not get an IP Address there either.

N0PGH-TEST1 is still working fine...

Any ideas???

A lot of this project entails a bit of "self-starting", I can see.  Ham radio, being a tiny sub-segment of the population, containing an even tinier sub-segment interested.

However, what exactly are you looking for help with?  Configuration?  Network design?  Antenna set up?

Mark found your post from Jan 24 2012, were you posted the ports that were needed. Thanks got it working here!

Hi Mark,  Did you get this to work?

Thanks

Couldn't you do an initial tftp install?  another thought, what if you installed the latest linksys firmware, rebooted, then tried it?

WOW!

This is pretty darn cool!  I wonder if it can replace a linksys radio...

I set up one node to be an access point and lan to lan the AP to connect to the mesh.  That works fine.  I can scan the wireless devices on my laptop and I do see the AP and can connect to it and then on to the mesh just fine.  problem is the AP is open where anyone with a wireless laptop, cell phone etc can connect to it.  I did set up the password in the AP's setup screen.  Is there some other way of securing the AP?  I don't want to leave this open to just anyone.

Thanks

Jim, Thank you for your reply.  I downloaded again (actually I had downloaded at least 5 times already, once for each OS).  No change, I still get the error message "Incorrect Image File".  Michael N4MJR

Doesn't anyone have any comments or suggestions? I am looking for some help to demonstarte this to our group, what did you do when you started out?  Sorry but I'm not a computer networking guy so there are lots I don't know. Any information/links would be appreciated ....  73
