Hello - this is my first post - please be kind :-)

Hardware: Linksys WRT54GL v1.1
Firmware: DD-WRT v24 (05/24/0Cool std (SVN revision 9526)

I have it up and runnng and can access via http and telnet.

I have read the wiki but can't resolve the following issue:
Trying to set up OSLR but things don't seem to be going too well.

The wiki tells me that RSSI: 0 dBm noise: 0 dBm is not correct.
I also do not have my WLAN IP and Netmask showing at eth1, even though I have it set under wireless>IP address/subnet mask
I have tried following the instruction onm the WIKI (v.24 Final Broadcom) with no success. My build is later than 9503


Any thoughts on what to do? I have probably missed something somewhere :-(

Thanks


Details are below:

Someone who knows something about mesh networks will have to help, but geez, louise!....any chance that problems could be due to the age of the build....versions are up to 10923 now...

Were there cobwebs on it? Laughing

Link to the path to the newer builds is given in the Peacock thread. Worth a read. It's a sticky at the top of the first page of the forum. (You just need to look at the first two posts).

Thanks for that Donny. Read through it and downloaded the std image.. Before I flash the router, what does the _NEWD_ mean in the filename?

It means NEW DRIVER...which is, as I understand it, the new wireless driver as opposed to the Vintage driver. The vintage driver is for the old wrt54g and wrt54gs routers (but not for the wrt54g2 which are not the same as the wrt54g v.2 Embarassed).

For a linksys wrt54gl, you should use the NEWD driver.

OK - finally got it upgraded. However, it won't let me login via telnet to check the settings. I can log into the web interface perfectly, but not using telnet. I could before the upgrade. Any thoughts?

Since the upgrade the IP now shows up correctly in eth1, but wl status still shows:

SSID: "myssod"
Mode: Ad Hoc RSSI: 0 dBm noise: 0 dBm Channel: 10
BSSID: 72:6A:16:A6:B5:31 Capability: IBSS
Supported Rates: [ 1(b) 2(b) 5.5(b) 6 9 11(b) 12 18 24 36 48 54 ]

RSSI: 0 dBm noise: 0 dBm stiil remain the same??

You are using the wrong username. It is always Root in telnet. And your password for the password.

Just a thought.

Thanks for that - I didn't realise the root login changed to the new password
