These are the steps for configuring your newly flashed router. It will retrieve hardware information about the node, prompt you for a few config settings, and then query the meshnode database to get an available IP address and subnet. | These are the steps for configuring your newly flashed router.

A freshly flashed node will be setup on 172.22.0.1, so you will need to configure your machine to use IP address 172.22.0.9 (subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway: 0.0.0.0). Once your network configuration is refreshed, use the following command to run the script and configure your node: | |||

The terminal will tell you "The firmware has been successfully sent to the router. In a few seconds, the router should begin flashing its four status LEDs sweeping from left to right, then right to left (or up down, down up). This means that the router is flashing itself with the new firmware. Once the router goes back to having only the power LED lit, the router has been successfully flashed."<br> | The terminal will tell you "The firmware has been successfully sent to the router.
