Is it possible to forward requests for example telnet from the wifi interface to the WAN side of the mesh node.  I swear I have the iptables config setup correctly, but it just doesn't seem to work.

hi all how do i get my WRT54GS V1.1 working again when i go on mesh status i get the message  Whoops! OLSR is not running, try again later. what do i need to do to get it working again please help

These have SOLD: I have for sale 7 BBHN ham radio MESH nodes.

6 of them are a mix between Linksys WRT54G & WRT54GS models. 1 of them is the smaller Motorola WR850G.

I built one of the WRT54GS into a really nice enclosure which includes a 8db gain omni directional vertical antenna, as well as a 16db gain directional antenna. This node is weather resistant and works great up on an antenna mast as you can see in the photos.

Each device comes with a power supply, an ethernet cable and antennas.

I think 2 of them possibly have not been flashed with BBHN yet. Those that have been flashed are up to date with the newest firmware 3.1.

There are also several other ham radio uses for these devices. I have read about people using them as Ham Radio APRS internet gateways! http://www.dimebank.com/cak/k6dbg/k6dbg_igate.html

Price is $100 FIRM.

Hi all,

I've read some interesting posts about node names and getting your PC or router to resolve them to IPs.  The strange thing is, I had 3 nodes and simply connected a LAN port on one to the WAN jack on a wifi router.  That was it.  When I connected to the router wirelessly, with no special config it just knew where to find the nodes.  But then I discovered that that router had 16mb of flash so I had to go install Openwrt on it and brick it :(

So I'm just wondering, how exactly does a "blind device" on a mesh network know how to resolve node names?  The other two routers I've tried will actually show the "redirecting you to ..." screen but then can't resolve the home screen for the nodes.

Thanks for any help!

Hello everyone...my apologies if this is covered..I have searched and found the table of which M Series, but how can I be sure which one I am buying has the correct chipset/firmware?  I'm on Ebay ready to purchase a bullet M* but want to be sure I'm getting the correct version. 

Is it safe to say that all bullet M2s are safe?  Basically looking for either a serial number matrix, firmware ID, or something to allow an online purchase of the correct hardware. 

Thanks for a great resource.

Hello all,

 I installed the bbhn-3.1.0-wrt300n_v1-2.4-squashfs.bin version of the firmware for the Linksys WRT300N.  I think I made a mistake and assigned the SUBNET MASK to 255.255.255.0. Yes I'm fairly sure that was where my problem started. Since I saved the 10.0.0.1 as the router IP Address and the before mentioned SUBNET MASK, out of habit I guess and I've lost most touch with the router.

 Is there a way I can telnet (went in the telnet 192.168.1.1 using the reboot wait about 2.5 seconds and hold the restart button, so that I could connect to the router) Now I was wondering if in somewhere like /etc/config/networks if I can reset the default back into the router? If I can where might they be found and reset to what?

I also had changed the node id to w4qed-100

 I have a WRT54GS with v3 (w4qed-103) on it and the WRT300 does not show up at any time on the network.

Thanks and 73,

OK I now have a pair of Bullet M2 nodes programed and looks like they are talking to each other, I have been watching videos and reading a bit on how to get them programmed to maybe run a camera or internet feed. I am not a network expert & know enough about computers to be dangerous. It seems that most of the info I have seen and videos seem to just say here is what can be done with the system. and implies that everyone knows a lot about networking.

Can any one recommend any videos that explains how I can view the video on the mesh or access the internet once I power up my node. Something for the computer dummies that explains most of the steps and what to do. I am sure more people would get a node on the air and have the system more active rather than stuff sitting in the corner wanting to make it work but cant.

Thanks

Hi,

I have spend countless hours on this ever since I read this post:  

http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/applications-for-the-mesh/118-internet-relay-chat-irc.html

I have no problems running one ngircd node.  However, no matter how much I've tweaked the config files, re-flashed, and pulled out my remaining hair, when I start up the two servers I get this:

Sep 5 11:44:20 KW4WP-W00 local1.info ngircd[18578]: Connection 8 (socket 8) with "10.141.213.214:6667" established. Now logging in ... Sep 5 11:44:20 KW4WP-W00 local1.notice ngircd[18578]: Got ERROR from "!@10.141.213.214": "Bad password"! Sep 5 11:44:20 KW4WP-W00 local1.info ngircd[18578]: 10.141.213.214:6667 (10.141.213.214) is closing the connection ... Sep 5 11:44:20 KW4WP-W00 local1.info ngircd[18578]: Shutting down connection 8 (Socket closed!) with 10.141.213.214:6667 ... Sep 5 11:44:20 KW4WP-W00 local1.notice ngircd[18578]: Client unregistered (connection 8): Socket closed! Sep 5 11:44:20 KW4WP-W00 local1.info ngircd[18578]: Connection 8 with 10.141.213.214:6667 closed (in: 0.0k, out: 0.1k).

And that's the problem ... "bad password".  But they aren't wrong and I've tried lots of them.  The internet seems to have no info on this, just on clients logging in with passwords.  Any help would be appreciated!
