Hello meshies
I know everybody is having fun at Battle Mesh, but if someone could take a
look at this I' d really appreciate.
I really have my eyes on the C50, as it seems to be the cheapest dual-band
on the market now. I can get on in Brazil for less than 40 USD! Last week I
bought one which I later found out to be an unsupported V2. But now I got a
V1, and it almost works. If it works, I'll the buy about 10 for an
installation in two weeks.
The problem seems to be with 802.11. The 2.4Ghz radio does not work in
ad-hoc mode - although the 5Ghz radio does. Then I don't know if it's
related, but when it meshes with a WDR3500, the Internet is painfully
slow, with some ping times about 1000-2000 milliseconds. Pinging from the
LiMe gateway at the same time gives me a steady 57ms. Perhaps a different
driver should be used?
Attached is a file with information gathered from the router.
A few other oddities (not as important as the issue above):
- Could not flash from stock directly with the compiled LiMe. I had to
first use this openwrt [1], then LiMe
- When I flash from the firmware above with the LiMe I compiled or the
download Lede, I get the message:
" It appears that you try to flash an image that does not fit into the
flash memory, please verify the image file!
Size: 7.63 MB (7.62 MB available)"
It works fine, tough.
- The firmware I cooked with my community settings (using cooker) won't go
through to the Internet, and gives this ESSID instead of my
community's:{{NETWORK_NAME}} (although it meshes with the LiMe gateway)
- The firmware I cooked without community settings connects to the Internet
through the LiMe gateway with the sluggish times above.
Thanks!

Hey sisters,
Let me share some good news for community networks -and bad ones for ISPs:
0.- Bitmessage has been working on LAN peer auto-discovery. It is
already in v0.6 branch, we tested it and it works.
1.- Retroshare will finally have asynchronous messaging working
(Retroshare already has LAN peer auto-discovery).
2.- Impressive ZeroNet is aware of the importance of LAN peer
auto-discovery and they are going to add this feature.
Hi,
Sometimes I explain what this community network thing is to someone in
my district. They likes the idea and they has an ISP router. Then I ask
them if they would like to share their Internet connection and they says
"yes, why not?". But then they asks if users in the community network
could have access to their private home network. I answer they could,
but it can be avoided in different ways -create different VLANs in the
ISP router, configure a firewall, closing ports in the computers...
Then they stops liking this community network thing.
It is frustrating, because many people do not share their Internet
connection because of this, and so we lose the resources we need.
I was wondering if there would be a way that LiMe could come
preconfigured in such a way that, when an Internet gateway is added, it
could only communicate to that ISP router, and no other host in that
private network. I mean to automatically create the proper firewall
rules so that the LiMe network could not access hosts in private networks.
That would not be real security, as that configuration could be removed
by any administrator in the community network, but we would be able to
start our answer saying "by default LiMe cannot enter into your private
network", and then explain what they could do to improve their security.
What do you think of it?
Have you found this obstacle?
What would you reply to that person?
Is my proposal doable?
If so, should I open a Github issue? Where? In lime-packages?
Hi all!
Sorry for pointing out an annoying fact, but our IRC channel is not
working as user support contact.
In my opinion should be removed from our contact page on the website.
Most of the questions being asked there remain unanswered because either
we're not answering fast enough or the users disconnect without waiting
enough for an answer (many users are not used to IRC).
This has never really worked.
It's neither being used for discussions about development as devs are
not often active there.
We can just remove the suggestion to contact us via IRC (as seems it's
not a valid contact anymore) and recommend just the mailing list.
Otherwise we can move the channel to another chat system.
What do you think?
Do we need to have a more effective chat for user support or just using
this mailing list is enough?
Bye,
Ilario
Hello All,
Any help regarding the how I can get the gateway ??

Hi,
When there is a zone with high density (many users),
how many stations does a node accept? Is there a maximum?
Do you have any rough recommendation?
What would you say for the following routers?
WDR3600
WDR4300
NSM5
WR841ND
If, in that same zone, we put several nodes close to each other,
do they somehow load-balance the number of accepted stations per node?
I was told the recommended network size for a LiMe layer-2 cloud was /21.
I would like to know what criteria should be taken into account when
considering to create additional layer-2 clouds.
Is there any maximum number of LiMe nodes (any type) per layer-2 cloud
you would roughly recommend?
Is there any maximum number of LiMe access points per layer-2 cloud you
would roughly recommend?
When you have different layer-2 clouds, I understand they automagically
connect to each other and share their Internet connections.
But, what are the differences for users communicating from different L2
clouds?
I mean compared to users in just one L2 cloud.
They won't share the local name resolution anymore (published services
within the L2 cloud), will they?
Any other difference?
Thank you!!
Buenas!
Les comparto la sistematización de 2 talleres que hicimos en una escuela de
Tandil, BsAs, Argentina.
La idea es que compartirlo para mejorarlo, y poder armar una base de datos
con propuestas pedagógicas para trabajar estas temáticas con distintos
tipos de públicos, dependiendo de el tiempo disponible, los conocimientos
previos, etc.

I just cooked a firmware with the cooker for the tp-link cpe-510. It is
similar to the nano loco m5 - 45 degrees horizontal angle, 13dbi, and 5ghz
only in this case. Costs around USD 65 here.
Everything seems to be fine. It uses adhoc mode by default, so it connected
immediately to a wdr3500 with lime 1605 from another network which I had
lying around.
The reason I'm flashing these is that we installed a small network in a
favela here last week, and the wdr3500 didn't have enough reach. Not only
the nearest nods were far (anything from 200m to 2km), but also all the
interference we had (it's a really dense neighborhood) made any link with
more than 100m very poor. The plan now is to connect the most important
nodes with those.
Abraços
Bruno

Hi !! My name is Martín Bayo , I'm from Santa Fe, Argentina.
With Martín Morales we are doing our first steps on libremesh , we tried
to build the image for TP Link 740 V4 without web interface , but the
image never finish to cooked , any idea ?
Thanks
