My latest ebay purchase came with Broadcom router firmware loaded.

Of course the MESH firmware fails the validity check and will not load.  I have been looking at the CFE methods and am not quite sure how to get a bootable router into CFE mode.

Any suggestions?

regards,
Billy

I was in a similar situation a while back, I had a Linksys that came with OpenWRT that I wanted to install BBHN on.  I "couldn't get there from here" so my path was to install ddWRT and from the admin page on ddWRT I was able to install BBHN.


Looks like you're already there, I'd give that a shot first.

Success!!!!

The last issue was firefox was reseting when I tried to do the firmware update.  Chrome loaded the firmware with no issue.


Of course no nodes close enough to connect with as of yet.  I will be setting up several others in the days to come.  Now just need to find the page to be added to the map.
