Hello, I write to ask in the list that brand and references of equipment designed to work outdoors can recommend me different from the brand Ubiquiti because for a couple of months we have been having trouble changing the firmware to this brand computers that are supposedly compatible but come with a new firmware version and do not allow the installation of libreMesh. I hope you can give us more information about it. Thank you. Fernando Castro T

[lime-users] Archer C50 adventures

by bruno vianna

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! [1] http://dl.eko.one.pl/luci/chaos_calmer/ramips/luci-15.05-ramips-mt7620-Arch… -- bruno(a)pobox.com ▀─█▄██▄▀▄ http://brunovianna.net ─█▄██▄▀█▀█▄ skype: randomico▀─█▄██▄▀█▀█▄▌██─█▌█▌

[lime-users] Trouble connecting the dots

by Charles Hache

Hello all, I'm having some trouble getting traffic routed. I have a couple Bullet M2 XW devices. One is a gateway connected via Ethernet to the internet, and the other I connect to over wifi to try and access the internet. I'm using chef images; I selected LibreMesh, Testing, Ubiquiti Rocket M XW, Libremesh with BMX7 and libremesh-adhoc as the options. The configuration I'm running is mostly stock; I read that since these particular devices only have one ethernet port you have to manually set it to be a WAN port. I did this by removing eth0 from the lan bridge and adding the following to /etc/config/network: ``` config interface 'wan' option proto 'dhcp' option ifname 'eth0' list protocols 'wan' ``` Now this wan unit gets a DHCP address from eth0, can access the internet properly, etc. When I set up the other unit, it seems to connect the BMX7 adhoc network properly: both web interfaces populate a bunch of information on the BMX7 pages. From the consoles on both units they can ping each other's IPv6 addresses. From the non-wan unit, when I check the BMX7 Gateways tab, I can see that the wan unit is announcing an Internet IPv4 network, so it looks like things are close to working. From here I'm not sure what to do. I would expect at this point if I try to access the web from the non-wan unit I should be able to, since BMX7 looks OK and it can see that a node is announcing a route to the internet. But I'm not sure how this actually works; the non-wan unit gets a route like this: ``` Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1024 0 0 X7Out_5C7DE568 10.13.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 br-lan 10.13.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1024 0 0 X7Out_5C7DE568 ``` While the units can ping each other's IPv6 addresses, they cannot ping each other's IPv4 addresses; I'm not sure if this is to be expected. The non-wan unit cannot seem to ping any IPv4 addresses other than my laptop. What I was expecting was the non-wan unit getting a default route to the wan unit once it sees the announcement of an Internet IPv4 network but this does not seem to be the case. I must be missing something, but I cannot seem to find it in the documentation. Any insights or suggestions of what to check? Thanks, Charles

[lime-users] problem in ethernet connection

by Seba Correa

In my tl-wdr3500, and in tl-wr840 I have problems to keep the connection via ethernet if I use LiMe. With openwrt 17.1.2 and 18.06.02 there are no problems. With LiMe, I connect the cable to the lan port, assign an address, and for a few seconds the connection persists, then the configuration is lost and there is no way to connect. Nor if I put a fixed ip on the computer. The wifi connection does not have any problem. I can only access the router that way. How can I correct it? Thank you very much for the help. Sebasti??n --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- En mi tl-wdr3500, y en tl-wr840 tengo problemas para mantener la conexi??n via ethernet si uso LiMe. Con openwrt 17.1.2 y 18.06.02 no hay problemas. Con LiMe, conecto el cable al puerto lan, asigna una direcci??n, y durante algunos segundos persiste la conexi??n, luego se pierde la configuraci??n y no hay forma de conectarme. Tampoco si pongo una ip fija en la computadora. La conexi??n wifi no tiene ning??n problema. Solo puedo acceder al router de esa forma. C??mo puedo corregirlo? Muchas gracias por la ayuda.

[lime-users] Consulta generación de Rango de IPS de la red

by Kleper

Hola, Estoy intentando entender de este documento https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libremesh/lime-packages/f8909d8abc2c75cae… La parte como se generan los rangos de direcciones IPv4 e IPv6 para una red mesh para la que estamos cambiando el nombre de la red. Alguien puede explicarme esta parte: # and %Nn templates that will be replaced by the n'th (n = 1,2,3) network-identifier byte, # calculated from the hash of the ap_ssid value, so that all the nodes that # form a mesh cloud (share the same ap_ssid) will produce the same value Como se calcula el HASH? que tipo de HASH es, es un md5, un sha1 o cual? Me gustaria poder entenderlo para poder hacer una mejor planeación de los diferentes proyectos de redes comunitarias que estamos apoyando en Colombia desde el proyecto NuestraRED.org Por ejemplo, en el proyecto del cauca el ap_ssid es: RedINC-Comunitaria y el rango de IP quedo como 10.17.0.0/16 En NuestraRED.org, el ap_ssid es: NuestraRED.org y el rango de IP quedo como 10.132.0.0/16 He probado diferentes formas para generar el hash y calcular el byte indentificador de la red, pero no he podido encontrar. Agradezco la ayuda posible. Gracias. Fernando Castro T

[lime-users] Cheap commercial routers and interface+antenna in spain

by modante＠disroot.org

Hello. There is a festival here in the city of Alicante called Alacant Desperta (https://www.alacantdesperta.com/ (https://www.alacantdesperta.com/)) totally self-organized and without money and there is a proposal to make a TV/Radio streaming during the days of the event. The place where it happens is a grat park in one of the castles of the city and there is no internet connection, Then one guy offered his connection that is in a roof of a building very close and with clear vision to the park. The idea is to use between 2 (a simple link) or 4 devices (if we distribute the network) using libremesh in order to have access to internet in different points of the park and also to promote and show the use of communitary networks using apps like ring to communicate without the need of internet (p2p). I would need advice about routers and network devices with antenna to do the link between the two points in a reliable way. Would be great if this devices are easy to get in the second hand market (like wallapop or ebay) because there is no money for buying and we are going to collect between a few guys some € to spend in them. Thank you very much :-)
