Once configured with our firmware, an extender node will not start broadcasting an SSID until it is plugged into a home node because it must first get a mesh IP address. | Once configured with our firmware, an extender node will not start broadcasting an SSID until it is plugged into a home node because it must first get a mesh IP address. | ||
If you have a mynet n600 or n750, you can get a mesh IP for your extender node by plugging the LAN cable that was plugged into your computer into to port one or two on the back of the home node. | |||
The mesh IP that the extender node receives is the IP of the home node plus one or two. For example, if your home node broadcasts the SSID "peoplesopen.net 65.21.65" corresponding to the IP 100.65.21.65, then your extender node will receive either an IP or either 100.65.21.66 or 100.65.21.67. Once plugged into this home node, the extender node should broadcast the SSID "peoplesopen.net 65.21.66" or ".67" as well as the ad-hoc network, "pplsopen.net-node2-node" (you may not see these if your computer's WiFi antenna is only 2.4 GHz) | |||
