Hello I have two mesh networks.... One mesh network is working on 900Mhz band and the other one on 5Ghz band..

I want to connect these two networks by placing the Ubiquiti M900 and the M5 in the same location.

Question is how can I do a LAN to LAN connection between these two different networks so they can all see each other as one single mesh network even if they have different frequencies...

Please refer me to any link or document I can read to help me with solving this issue..

Thanks

I wrote up an article on this topic (dtd-linking) a few weeks ago: http://www.aredn.org/content/device-device-linking-dtdlink

Hello Darryl,

thanks for the link... It's exactly what I was looking for...

Just one more question about connecting different networks...

Let's say I have a mesh network in Aurora Illinois and another one in Lyon France, do you know a way to connect these two networks over the internet ?

yes.  this is where my tunnel solution comes in.

If you are using BBHN 3.0.2 (and above) or AREDN 3.0.2, these are the setup steps.

(AREDN 3.15.1.0 b01 has tunneling built-in)
