I have two node stations in operation,  W0AY-1 (resurrected  Linksys) and W0AY-2 (new Ubiquity AirGrid) up and running on 2.4 GHz Ch 1.  The two nodes can see each other and W0AY-2 located on my deck can see stations from the local mesh network.   But, as far as I can tell,  my W0AY-2 (air Grid) didn't join the local mesh.   Why?  Is it because my two nodes SSID as Broadband-Hamnet with version #  and the local mesh ids with an SSID of   HSMM-MESH?  I recall, I think perhaps incorrectly,  that the SSID's of all the mesh members must be the same?   If so,  I can't locate a way to change the SSID because the web interface automatically adds the version number.

Thanks for any help,

The GUI forces the SSID to be different because the comm protocols differ between releases. Put them all on v3 and they will all be happy. Andre, K6AH

So in order to join the local mesh (some 15 stations, I think) I would have to upload the old version of the firmware so that my SSID is HSMM-MESH?

Yes. However, I would advise that the some 15 stations be placed in a queue for update.

You really want to get to the latest version. I sure wouldn't be planning to downgrade nodes. Andre, K6AH

Memo to Larry:  Attend the local ARC meetings once in a while!!    Apparently locally they are using NW-MESH firmware based on the OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment RC1 release.

A local web site I found is below:  (Stevensville  and Hamilton, MT area)

http://www.meshstuff.com/hsmm-mesh-site/

Since winter has descended upon us here, I doubt whether anyone is interested in updating now.   Good project for the summer, though.  I'll see if I can make contact locally and find out what the plans are.
