Hi this is my first attempt at making a mesh node and have run into trouble. I had DDWRT on the router and flashed it to the hsmm-mesh-0.4.3wrt300n_v1.bin and I have lost connectivity with the lan ports to my pc. Also all the front lights are now lit up steady. The router is a WRT-300N v1.1

Is there a way out of this?

Did you ever get a response on this? I have a WRT300N v1.1 that I would like to use as a mesh node, but I'm leery of trying it without knowing if the firmware will work.

You might end up having to build the serial cable or the JTAG cable, to get it woke back up. I was playing with a Netgear router, and ended up with a flashing power light but nothing else. ( The unit was given to me, so I wasn't afraid of bricking it.. ) I just realized the original post was 6 months old. A quick Google search gave a 'how to' on using the JTAG port. Good luck!

No, never did get a reply for my question so I have not done anything else with that 300N.

I did however find 6 brand new wrt54g-rg but am a bit worried that they might not work. They

have 8mb and 4mb of flash so they should work but not sure as they have special software in them

right now from Rogers. It is just slightly modified linksys but is optimized for voice.


I wonder if it is wise to flash it to ddwrt first and then go to the hsmm-mesh as the router is supported

by ddwrt.
