# Wait several minutes for your new node autoconfigure, connect to the Internet, and obtain its private IP address from the sudo mesh build server. | # Wait several minutes for your new node autoconfigure, connect to the Internet, and obtain its private IP address from the sudo mesh build server. When this process is complete, the node should broadcast several WiFi networks with the following SSIDs and purposes: | ||
#* <code>peoplesopen.net</code> - This is the public network broadcast on the 2.4ghz band; it has no password, and is suitable for access to the internet. | |||
# | #* <code>peoplesopen.net fast</code> - This is the same public network, but broadcast on the 5ghz band, which is more ideal for high-bandwidth activities such as streaming media. | ||
# | #* <code>peoplesopen.net-node2node</code> - This is the public network used for mesh nodes to discover and communicate with one another. You should not need to connect or use this network, but you will want to verify it is active. | ||
# | #* <code>pplsopen-admin</code> This is the private network, and you can use it to access a web dashboard to configure some settings, such as its SSID. The default WiFi password is <code>meshtheworld</code>. Try connecting to it (you can also connect to the private network using an ethernet cable connected to '''port 3''' on an N600 -- see diagram for details). | ||
