I've now been able to enter the command line of Broadband Hamnet 3.1.0...it's based on OpenWRT Kamikaze (version 7). OpenWRT is now at version 17.01.4...It uses standard OLSR as it's routing protocol on WiFi...this is perfect for the needed use application. I don't see any config differences from 17.01.4, though. So this is now a question for the developers of the Broadband Hamnet firmware...there's also the feature of hostnames we place into the Broadband Hamnet device that propagate it over the Mesh...I would like to request the developers to share those scripts and information on their code (i.e. are you on a public online code repository?) under the relevant Open Source Licenses so it could possible receive needed Operating System updates, and be cross compatible with all OpenWRT routers.

Great work! Yes, please share.

I've done further testing. OpenWRT to OpenWRT devices work; but when connecting to a Broadband-Hamnet device, the routes never populate in OpenWRT and vice versa.

I cannot find any setting in Broadband-Hamnet that would make the routes behave differently.

Reset the device.

Just figured out how to do a P2P linkup between two nodes on my mesh. I will post info if there is anyone interested in this.

I have Asterisk running on a Raspberry Pi with no issues. I tried the install on one of the 54GS. And after a boot it now has no WAN LED. It is not visible from anywhere. Luckily I have three more nodes to use. 

I forgot my admin password. What do I need to do?

Have two Cisco 7940 IP phones and a Motorola XT801 with a Grandstream HT701. Connected over a 2.4 Broadband-Hamnet mesh network.

No worries. I got into the router via the wireless connection from the other mesh node and re-enabled DHCP.

Also downloaded and started experimenting with Wireshark and trying to learn a little more about IP addressing.

Kind of disappointed though that I got no replies on the forum. I'm sure many amateurs who are not networking experts are reluctant to get into MMSH-mesh because of the associated technical issues. It is admittedly pretty easy to flash a Linksys router to create a mesh node, but doing something useful with it afterwards requires a lot more networking expertise or mentoring from others who are more knowledgeable.

There are no mesh nodes anywhere near my location that I can connect with so will have to simply experiment with the two that I have set up and figuring at this point that it I will pretty much have to do so on my own.

I have three Linksys 54GS routers and one Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 working on my Mesh. I have two Cisco 7940 IP phones connected to Astrisk running on a Raspberry PI. 

Hello,

I have a lot of the following routers: https://openwrt.org/toh/zinwell/zw4400

I have successfully installed OpenWRT...but as there is no available version of Broadband-Hamnet, I need to know how to configure the wireless interfaces for mesh.

In addition: I will have 420, 900, 2.4 and 5.4 cards available, so is it possible to bridge the various frequencies into one network that is one mesh?

73,

(also is it possible to get an x86 and IXP42x-tw5334 target of Broadband-Hamnet, or where can I find the files to compile?)

I have been experimenting with two WRT-54G routers that I successfully set up with HSMM-Mesh .

In my experimenting, I disabled the DHCP server on one of them (WRT-54G v3) and now cannot access that mesh node via the ethernet connection using my web browser. ipconfig says that no IP address has been issued by the connected device. I guess I know why.

So my question becomes: Is there a way to get back into my mesh node so that I can re-enable the DHCP function?

Also...is there a way to reset the router to default HSMM-Mesh settings so that I can get into it and start over?

Sorry I really need some help with this, as I am really a newbie with networking issues.

Thanks, Rick VE3ORY

Hi.  Newbie here.  I'm curious if anyone is in the Charleston (Mt. Pleasant) area and working on a node.  I would like to see if there is anyone to connect with out here before going too far down the rabbit hole.
