Lynksis vs Ubiquiti Help Me Decide
If you are wanting to build a mesh in your house, the 54G's are fine. If you are looking to have an externally mounted node, you can't beat the Bullet for simplicity and ease of placement.
Also, I'm running a Bullet M2 with a $3 passive POE injector I bought off of ebay. It's running fine off of 12 volts (my Travel Trailer's main battery) and I'm powering it through about 40-50 feet of cable. I suppose if I needed to go with a longer cable, I would need the nice 24V injector. I don't use it for hsmm-mesh (Yet), but I use it to pull in the campground wifi with a high gain co-linear antenna. (A necessary evil to work on the road)

I'm also new here and I'm asking myself some of the same questions. I can only speculate but part of the idea may be to keep out the riffraff. It may also be to leverage whatever credibility ham radio was when it comes to installing nodes on towers, etc. I think the AREDEN folks have fully committed to that concept.
Seems BBHN is several part put together:
Linux computer (open-WRT)
wifi radio
OLSR
Web server
Web page user interface
cron job to send callsign
Someone has already published how to do this with a raspberry pi (HSMM-PI). I'd really like to learn to do it with these $20 travel routers or the $30 ones with built-in batteries.

Re-installing Ubiquiti firmware
I have a Ubiquiti Titanium that BBHN 3.1.0 was uploaded. Upon trying to save the Username and Password the browser displays the changes were not save. Attempts to just save just the Password also return a notice the changes were not saved. Attempts to upload another copy of 3.1.0 fail with the notice the file is not recognized. In an effort to start back at Ground Zero an attempt was made to reload the Ubiquiti firmware using the interface within BBHN in the admin screen. This failed also with the message the file is not recognized. Reverting to Windows TFTP attempts were made to upload the Ubiquiti firmware. The command line syntax used was:
tftp -i 192.168.1.20 put TI.v5.6.2.27929.150716.1134.bin TFTP was invoked while in the F: drive so the filename was only specified. The following was the result apparently after about a two minute timeout. I tried specifying the file to transfer by prefacing the filename with "F:" and also "F:\". I can ping 192.168.1.20 and receive a reply when the device is in TFTP mode (holding the reset button for 25 seconds until the LED's alternately blink)
Can someone tell me if the syntax used for TFTP is correct?

Subject :Re:Now what? - Some ideas on what to do AFTER your node is up and running...
Guys - I'm new here and I'm sure I've overlooked something, But I'm quite confused here and need some help figuring out the HAM part of Hamnet.
I get that some of the hardware can be configured to run higher power on ham only frequencies, and that's clearly a HAM only activity, but I'm not doing that.
I've got my basic couple of Linksys nodes up and running, and I'm wondering where the HAM is in the hamnet?
I don't see that this mesh network is any different from a mesh network made with DD-WTR, except that if I call it a hamnet, now I have to restrict it's usage to HAMS and ham activities.
As I see it - If I change my node name and SSID to NON-HAM, It falls under a completely different set of rules and makes it more accessible and useful.
If a HAM picks up a CB and transmits on CB frequencies, is he expected to follow CB or HAM protocols?
I don't mean to be argumentative here - but I just don't see any benefit at all in a mesh hamnet that's not already available in a DD-WRT mesh, unless the goal is to make a private ham-only network that the general public cant connect to or benefit from.
Contrast that to a open public DD-WTR mesh with internet access, where anybody with wifi or a smart phone could be connected, Hams and Non-hams could use it for whatever they needed, or wanted.
Somebody help me out and explain this please! I think I've missed something here.

setting up a gateway
I have 3 nodes wrt54GL nodes on my mesh. They talk togeather fine and I was looking for a way to link them to my local LAN.
I took one node and setup the WAN address and set it as the mesh gateway. From my LAN I can connect to that node and view the admin/status page, but I cant reach any of the other nodes. I have tried using IP address only. How do I tell mesh nodes who in the mesh is the gateway?

Topic :
Cannot save node name and password change
Well here is another tale of Ubiquiti woe. I flashed another device and the upload went as expected. After upload and returning to localnode:8080 I am challenged for login credentials. Used "root" and "hsmm", all lower case. Status screen is displayed. Clicking on "Setup" takes me to the page for entering the new node name and new password. Entered new node name and password and click "Save". The little whirly wheel rotates a few dozen times and then the screen flashes with the message the name and password were not saved. See below: It also states the password must be changed during the initial configuration. OK? I can enter the "Administration" page and setup to upload the firmware in an effort to upload a fresh copy of the firmware in the event the initial copy was corrupted somehow. However this attempt is thwarted as the firmware queued for upload is deemed "invalid". Initially a fresh download was tried. When that did not work the first copy downloaded was queued up and the same error message was displayed when clicking on upload. Any obvious faux pas?

Ping 192.168.1.1 and see if you get a reply. If so then try typing 192.168.1.1:8080 into the url field. If the page flashes a message it is redirecting and doe not continue then click on the highlighted link. |

After confirming that your computer's wireless interface is disabled/not connect to any router....
Clear your browser cache after doing the initial config.
Firefox: On Mac OSX: CMD-R to do a hard refresh on the page On Win: CTRL-F5
