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.

[lime-users] Little steps in the good direction

by Amuza

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.

[lime-users] Obstacles to a successful growth

by Amuza

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?

[lime-users] IRC #libremesh...?

by Ilario Gelmetti

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

[lime-users] Xiaomi routers

by Amuza

Hi, I have never tried a Xiaomi router. The Chef allows you to cook LiMe for the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Mini and for the Xiami Mi WiFi Nano. Anyone tested them? Do they work ok? Do you know if it will be possible in the near future to get the LiMe firmware for the Xiaomi Mi WiFi R3 from the Chef? Thanks!

[lime-users] [solved] Re: no internet connectivity through wifi in version 17.06

by bruno vianna

Using the version cooked with lime-sdk solves the problem. Firmware Version LiMe 17.06 DaybootRely (17.06 rev. ac18095 20171019_1644) / LuCI lede-17.01 branch (git-18.033.59178-3d46f25) bmx6 -c version: BMX6-0.1-alpha comPatibility=16 revision=4016a1980d900309771e432d1f7c741d6c48d477 But, really, those download builds should be updated.,,, On Tue, Feb 6, 2018 at 3:34 PM, bruno vianna <bruno(a)pobox.com> wrote: > > Dear meshies > > We're trying to upgrade to version 17, but there are issues with Internet > routing. > > Even though the devices see each other and create a mesh network, Internet > works only on the gateway router.
