This is my first attempt to setup an HSMM net. I have a Linksys WRT54GS V1.1. I successfully updated the firmware to 3.1.0. I can enter the basic setup information (node name and password), but after the router reboots, none of that data is saved. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks NA4IT, I double checked the instructions. I get to the end of step 4. The router does its reboot, but the changes are not saved. If I return to the setup page it says the node is not configured. Also my PC does not get a new IP address from the router. |

I'm new at this also. Two things I could think of... 1) make sure you have the right firmware file and 2) make sure you got a good download of the file. Other than that, I'm at a loss. |

I used firmware bbhn-3.1.0-wrt54gs-2.4-squashfs.bin and the file looks to be downloaded correctly. Should I have used a different file?
I believe the router firmware is flashed, as I can see mesh-node from my laptop wireless (I'm aware that it won't communicate via wifi, but just wanted to check to see if it was working at all). |

That will make a difference. I always plug mine into the LAN port 1. |
