Meshing of two boxes
A meshbox is either a Gateway(GatewayNotes) or a Repeater(RepeaterNode). Plug one box via it's ethernet cable into an Internet connection. This box is the gateway and can be assigned a StaTicip if the host PC with the Internet signal does not hand out a ["DHCP"] lease. From the gateway make certain you can surf the web. Issue "getandverify" or "leachtest" command. The second box is the repeater. Allow 5min for the repeater to mesh, it will check into WiaNa etc.. See IpaddressToMeshbox 1. See HardWare and EmbeddedPc Wi-fi cards, Mini-Itx, and AnteNnas 1. Do the boxes see each other if you run "sigspy"? Sigspy will report the signal strength between boxes, must be larger Than 7db. See SignalToNoise 2. Do the boxes see each other if you run IwList wlan0 scan and does NetStumbler report on any other wi-fi about? 3. Have they blocked each other entries in /proc/aodv/blocked ? 4. RePorter command reports on the Channel and Frequency settings. (Doesn't work yet with Atheros chipset only Senao) 5. what does cat /proc/aodv/monitor say? 6. Have you set both boxes to DefaultSettings ? 7. All nodes on same mesh must be on same ["ESSID"] For example channel 1 and ssid = LocustWorld, then wait for boxes to mesh. 8. After they mesh edit the wiana.settings file and change the settings to channel6 and to your chosen SSID. WiaNa 9. Boxes that mesh can be controled via RemoteManagement. 10. Wired CaptivePortal on the gateway node: Disabled 11. Change the setting on the 'firewalling menu' same node clients firewalled to yes. See SubNet/SubnetMask. And see WiaNa - Portmap settings 12. Router board accepts clients but wont pass trafic: PrimaryCellAndDhcp 13. Check the boot message of the meshbox if it FoundTheCard 14. StaticIp 15. IpTables -L             #shows all current rules for the FireWall. 16. TUNNELTYPE:PPP #There are two options PPP or IP. Change the PPP in gateway type to IP - this will help if you're behind an ICMP firewall. See WiaNa/ExampleOfWianaListing 17. Register node at http://www.wiana.org Wireless IP number assignment authority. 18. Ad-hoc and InfraStructure explained on this page and 2 cards in one PC. 19. See InfrastructureAdhoc for 10.x.x.x interface. 20. Do search on 11.x.x.x,  10.x.x.x , 172.x.x.x and  1.x.x.x 21. Strip of copper between two cards in one pc to cancel RF interference. See HardWare 22. See DefaultSettings. 23. Search on Ticket, SplashPage, Radius, CaptivePortal, FactoryReset, GetNodeWorkingAgain,Mikrotik, ssh, NAT,ad-hoc,adhoc 24. Mesh uses multiple layers of NAT and has traffic shaping replacing the need for MikroTik. 25. See ["NAT"] for how Mikrotik blocks StaticIp assignment to clients. Each meshnode uses NAT. 26. Bakc-to-back meshboxes chokes traffic and wired clients - UnknownTrafficShaping

10.X.X.X
From EthernetPort: BR 1. Mesh AP is plugged into a 10.X.X.X network, the mesh AP can only see the gateway. 2. Connect wired router between Mesh and PC, with PC used as primary backhaul. 3. OPENBSD packet filter on PcEngines http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html
