is very little simple How-To instructions available on setting up a Freifunk
mesh network of routers. I don't have the time to write full blown
instructions, but here is what I have found. (Sorry to all the OLSR
developers on this email list, but guys like John are generally
ignored). There is lots of tech info at the Freifunk
site.<BR><BR>-Freifunk works great, it has the latest stable OLSR built in and
has some of the developers for OLSR working on it<BR>-It has almost no
security built in except a login for admin<BR>-Choose any router for the WAN
(Internet) connection and that router will automatically act as the
gateway<BR>-It works as an ad-hoc network, not an access point. You set up
routers with Freifunk, and you can connect computers to any router with a wire
(Not wirelessly) to get Internet traffic.<BR>-You can have a node do both
meshing and access point, but the performance is not so good.<BR><BR>Quick
Freifunk Setup<BR>In the web setup:<BR>I use a Buffalo router with the LAN
split from the wirless, this happens automatically, should happen with the
Linksys.<BR>Your basically setting three areas on the Freifunk, LAN WAN,
WIRELESS<BR><BR>1 Flash with the stable version <BR>2
Do not add or change anything on the OLSR page, or the System Page<BR>3
On the WAN page, set WAN to DHCP. It's easiest to connect the WAN port to an
Internet connection which is live, like wherever you would plug in a computer
and get an IP address and Internet.<BR>4 On the LAN page, set it
to Static, Set the LAN IP address to whatever you want, its going to be local,
and set the LAN DHCP number of users, usually 4<BR>5 On the
WIRELESS page, Each router will need it's own wireless IP address, you have to
assign it manually.<BR>Set the wireless IP address to whatever you want, make
sure it is in the same network as all the other routers and is a unique
address. Set the access mode to AD_HOC. set the ESSID to whatever you
want to call it, <B>make sure it's the same for all routers. </B> Set the
power. <BR>6 Leave everything else alone<BR>7- Reboot, and wait a
bit<BR><BR>Turn on all the routers, choose one or more to plug the Internet
into the WAN port. Plug a computer into a LAN port. If all goes
well, you should have access. To use any point it as an access
point, plug another router into one of routers and configure it as a
straight access point. Flash it with something like X-wrt or DDwrt, then
just plug it into a Freifunk router. That would be a poor mans dual
radio setup, works great.<BR><BR>Good Luck<BR>- Larry<BR><BR>John Harris

I have 3 Linksys routers to build a Mesh Network. Im using the Freifunk Firmware.
How can I make the configuration of an access point for one Linksys. I have no access to internet over the router which is connected with LAN.
Can anybody help me ?
How can I make the Configurations ?
