Deploying the wireless mesh network has been a tough task. To start with we some how landed with the WRT54G series router, but our hard luck. They were version 7, with reduced NVRAM & flash memory. We just couldn’t load any firmware on to them whatever we tried.
Then we opted for WRT54GL which we got from hyderabad after getting turned down from Kolkata, Jaipur & mumbai. To begin with the elementary Linksys OPEN WRT firmware(www.openwrt.org)
, was a very crude one. We went for freifunk(www.freifunk.net).
But the firmware posed a constant problem and moreover its german literature did not solved the matters. Although the contact team of freifunk was very supportive yet we are working with freifunk.settled for another firmware.
