Re: [lime-users] First time user - using my own router

Welcome Jason!! My answer in line: On 5/16/21 1:12 PM, Jason Gauthier wrote: Sorry for that, the documentation is a fragmented in various places... Every contribution is most welcomed! This can be achieved compiling LibreMesh *without* selecting the "lime-proto-anygw" package (but I never tested this scenario). Then, you should connect a LAN port of your router with a LAN port of a LibreMesh node (very bad idea unless lime-proto-anygw is deselected!!). I can see only two small problems with this: * The nodes will have an IPv4 which is likely not in the subnet your router is advertising (this can be configured in the LibreMesh nodes in /etc/config/lime-node following the documentation on /docs/lime-example.txt https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/blob/master/packages/lime-docs/f… and the configuration is applied running lime-apply). The clients will have no problem to reach the internet and to reach the other nodes but it will be inconvenient to connect to the mesh nodes for maintenance. * In the lime-proto-anygw there's a parameter that I suppose should be useful also in your scenario: the LibreMesh DHCP suggests to the clients to use a small MTU (I suppose that the reason is to decrease fragmentation inside the mesh). This should be possible to achieve also decreasing the MTU for the AP interface. If you ignore this, everything should work anyway, but maaaaybe with a bit worse performances, I suppose. That MTU setting appeared in LibreMesh in 2014, set by G10h4ck and I'm not sure that 1350 is still an optimal choice with the current set of routing protocols: https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/commit/c028a28b1defdab5163af822e… Ciao!
