Help! I am trying to set up a wireless mesh network for a humanitarian organization. This mesh will be used for emergencies across the world, if there is a disaster and their communications go out, we provide phone and internet. The mesh will be great to provide satellite internet meshed. <br>
<br>So far, I have downloaded and installed OpenWRT on two RB133s. These units have two wireless cards and 3 ethernet ports. We'd like a 5 GHz backhaul and deliver the internet on a standard 2.4 GHz channel. I have installed OLSR and configured it fine. When I connect to a RB133 wirelessly, and I have a ethernet cord in that board, it works no problem. However, when I test out the meshing capability, and I try to connect to a RB133 without the ethernet cord, I cannot get any internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Below are my configuration ports. Anyone who can provide any help whatsoever will be able to help make a change in the world! <br>
