Could someone post in layman terms, how to post a picture to your profile.  Thank you in advance.

I am trying to be a computer software developer, but figured i better not quit my day job.

Thanks Again

OK Glenn,

Thanks for the info. I was hoping with the same chipset and flash that maybe there was a chance. I guess I will leave it running DD-WRT for now then.

I did notice that the supported hardware list does not seem to list all the routers that are covered in the firmware download page. Is there and updated list somewhere for the other firmwares listed??

The Buffalo WHR-54S is not on the supported hardware list.  We have regular requests to port the firmware to devices other than the Linksys routers.

We welcome new developers to help with the list of development tasks.  At this time we do not support the Buffalo WHR-54S.

Hello,

I have seen the numerous posts about using HSMM-MESH in other routers and the work being done there. Thanks to the developers for the incredible work so far.

I just acquired a Buffalo WHR-G54S router which has the same Broadcom 5352 chipset and 16mb memory with 4mb flash as the WRT54G. I am curious if the WRT54G firmware could be used in this Buffalo router to make another MESH unit. Any words of wisdom??? Thanks.

This actually a very useful thing to be able to do, for some situations.  But it needs to be supervised.

That is put a normal Part-15 Wi-FI Access Point into one of the LAN ports on a mesh node.  This provides a gateway for widely used wi-fi gear users into the mesh.  But - on the Part-15 AP, turn on some sort of entry code and only hand out the entry information to those you are supporting.  Consider changing the Part-15 entry code information regularly.  That way you keep track of who you are gatewaying into the system.

The only way I've accessed my HSMM-MESH node via WiFi on my PC was to plug a standard Wireless Access Point into one of the 4 LAN ports on my node.

Hello All,

Just wondering if you can access a HSMM-Mesh node with a normal built in WiFi card in a laptop? I know your not suppose to be able to do it, but I think I found a way to do it. I know it's working for me anyway. I'm using a HP Mini laptop and can access my Mesh nodes and then jump around to nodes it can see or hear. I also just tried this on my Dell B130 laptop and it works on this one to.

Before I post how I did it, I wanted to see comments on this before I post how I'm doing it in the open. Or you can send me an email in private for details. It was just an idea that worked, so now I can just use my laptop and not be plugged right into a router to get into the mesh network.

Again, just a crazy thought that finally worked out for the good.

I'm told I can punch a giant hole in the router using th DMZ funciton.  Im not sure I understand exactly how that works.  I want every computer on every node to have the same acces it might have as if they were all on the same LAN.  I know that makes most IT people cringe but bare with me here, I'm learning.

What IP address do I put in the DMZ field to accomplish that?

A) The routers 10.xxx.xxx.xxx address?

B) the rounters Lan ADress 172.xxx.xxx.001

C) Can I only punch a hole for a single Host on an individual MESH node?

Thanks,
