[Olsr-users] Mesh for Humanitarian Aid

[joseph regan]

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.

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!

Im not too sure how to configure DHCP, not sure if I need to configure it

Any advice would be extremely appreciated!
