===Plan=== | |||
Turns out there are a few wireless devices available from [[Mesh|Sudo Mesh]] that aren't very helpful for the [[Mesh/Firmware]], so we can use them with [[Mesh/OpenWRT|OpenWRT]] for this purpose. Especially helpful are the Ubiquiti Bullet 2HP routers, which simply have just barely enough memory to be operational, but are ultimately not practical for Sudo Mesh's purposes. | |||
====Ubiquiti Bullet 2HP==== | |||
# Reset router, following the instructions here: [[Mesh/WalkThrough#Bullet]] | |||
# Install OpenWRT firmware, using this image: http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/atheros/generic/openwrt-atheros-ubnt2-jffs2-64k.bin | |||
## Unfortunately need to use an old version of OpenWRT ("Attitude Adjustment" 12.09) since the community has stopped supporting this device (too low memory). | |||
# Configure as repeater | |||
## Simplest option is to use the LuCI interface to add the existing network as a "Client" and add this Bullet router's network on top, as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rbsh2zxPnk | |||
## (Optional), consider alternative methods for repeating a network listed below: | |||
### WDS http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode#wds.-.wireless.distribution.system | |||
### Routed Client Mode http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode#routed.client.mode | |||
### Bridged Client Mode (brcm-2.4 only) http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode#bridged.client.mode.brcm-2.4.only | |||
#### '''Not''' compatible with Bullet router. | |||
### Bridged Client Mode (with relayd) http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode#bridged.client.mode.with.relayd | |||
#### Compatible with Bullet router, but requires installing new dependencies, for limited memory device. May need to remove unused packages to make room for this—seems like it could provide better performance than the client/master solution. | |||
