Hola,
Estoy intentando compilar libremesh utilizando esta guia:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages
Lo que quiero lograr es compilar con la versión snapshot de OpenWRT para
tratar de tener LibreMesh en algunos equipos que no están soportados por la
versión 17 y 18 de OpenWRT, alguien ha intentado hacer esto y tienen algun
consejo que pueda compartir?
Los intentos que he realizado hasta el momento resulta en varios problemas
de compilación asociados a los paquetes de LIME que se rompen en esta
versión de OpenWRT.
O me recomiendan mejor intentar hacer las imágenes con el SDK de LibreMESH?
Gracias.
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.

Hi people! I'm glad to tell you that after some time I manged to get
routing working after your help (the suggested solution was to download
a stable version).
Now I'm facing other problems (not in the software, but in my knowledge
of all this stuff), and again need your help.
The next stage is actually using that router in a school. It has:
* 10 Windows pcs
* 1 linux pc (to host the content like videos, wiki, web pages, etc)
* a big ethernet switch
So here are my questions:
1) Can the libremesh router be connected (via the switch) to all the
pcs? If possible, where is the documentation to know how?
2) Can we give the linux pc some domain name to make a web server out of
it? (so the people can type something like http://school/homework)
3) People should be able to connect with their cellphones to the
network, and access the content. Is this possible?
In a previous mail with the subject "LuCI and lime-app" it is said:
>> - change wifi SSID, hide SSID, change wifi password,
> this will be overwritten by lime if you do lime-apply
> can be done with lime (check documentation)
I think this is my use case, but I can't find that documentation. Can
you point me to it?
To give some more context, in the future we would like to add some more
routers to connect key spots, and people nearby.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Pedro.
In my experience LuCI is very useful for editing configuration and monitoring the network. LuCI offers an intermediate step between the simplicity of lime-app and the complexity of SSH command line configuration. Given this usefulness and the alpha status of lime-app, I will likely install LuCI on devices for the moment, and maybe uninstall lime-app to save space and RAM until lime-app reaches release status.
Would this interfere with the functioning of LibreMesh?
For example, with LuCI I can:
- monitor network traffic quantity and connections
- set static routes for local services
- configure WWAN (internet connection via wifi)
- set a static address for WAN client (this was necessary in one of our networks)
- see what devices are connected
- look at logs
- change wifi SSID, hide SSID, change wifi password, create MAC-based access control list
- install and remove packages
Without LuCI, I either have to:
1) give up on these things,
2) configure them at the moment of compiling firmware and reflash the device, or
3) learn how to do these things via SSH (and forget about having pretty charts on the command line).
cheers,
Patrick
Hola,
The certificate at libremesh.org got expired.
Please let me know if I can somehow help there.
By the way, how is the librerouter thing going?
Cheers!
Hi,
I've got a USB 4G dongle and have successfully hooked it up to a router
running libremesh using the RNDIS documentation from the OpenWRT
documentation site. However once that router joins a mesh, the IPv4 address
data vanishes (it is connected via LAN).
However, I don;t actually need this node to be connected, I actually just
need to have the main router that has a direct WAN connection to the
internet, to *also* have a USB dongle, but use it as a fallback or failover
should the main WAN connection go down.
I've tinkered with Mwan3, but it just broke my internet all together (I
think because it uses static routes).
I was wondering if something like this was even possible or if anyone's
done something similar with a secondary uplink?
Thanks again!
Martin
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!

Hi,
I love this project and have already set up a local mesh with a few
routers. My concern is that I want to be able to control who adds nodes to
the mesh, from what I can tell, just having a flashed router set up with
the correct Mesh ID adds it to the routing table, which is a worry if you
want a more controlled roll-out, i.e. how do you stop a malicious actor
adding a mesh router and just sniffing all the packets (assuming nobody
uses VPN or TLS of course, it's hypothetical)?
I tried to set up an encrypted mesh with 802.11s but the mesh netowrks
vanished after adding he packages and configuration change, I assume
because of the two-rdio issue described elsewhere. I was wondering if
something simpler, like a MAC whitelist or a node IP whitelist is possible
to simply make the network growth a bit more manageable?
I understand this goes against the "Libre" principle, and may not be viable
with a distributed network, but given I do not have the netowrk skill to
figure this out on my lonesome I thought I'd ask.
Cheers,
Martin
