 I am curious if editing the config file is still necessary?
Hardware = WRT54G  version 3
Firmware uploaded was 0.4.3 of the WRT54g version
Wan address shows that it is getting a valid IP address from my network via DHCP, and the default gateway address returned is correct, but I can not connect to the internet.
Mesh Gateway box is checked.

 I'm sort of new to this whole thing so I don't know what to recommend at this point. I know that l-com.com has amps there too although they seem more expensive. I'm not sure that higher prices translates to better products though. As far as the rg-58 cable I would be curious to find out what the length of it was. You might be able to extrapolate the DB loss if you knew the type and length of cable. 12 ft of cable might not be too bad. Also some of these amp have a pre-amp on them...might help a bit.

 I now have 4 nodes available in Tooele.  I would like to meet with someone who is successful in getting video and viop working.   I am in the embarrassing position of having antennas here but no adapters.  I have ordered forty tonight.  Tooele wants to get this  show on the road.

 I am up in Logan UT with AG1T, and will be working with him and others to get some things going in the Northern most part of the state.  Steve KE7WAQ and I were able to get our mesh nodes up and running and talking to each other mode today.  That was cool to see.  Now working on supporting hardware to get them in the air.

 I was one of those that attended and it was a great presentation.  Thanks Gerald and Chuck.  Today we were able to see some nodes talk to each other.  Now making plans to get them in the air and see what we can do from there.

 Wow, beautiful!
OK re. regs and bandwidth - what an awesome resource!
I am looking for a WRT54GL and am trying to sort out the best antenna and amp for mobile.
I've forwarded the Mesh info to some locals in Statesboro and Savannah to see if there is interest here.
Thanks!

 I can't tell for sure, but the pictures seem to show an RG-58 sized cable on that antenna.  The loss of the cable may well nullify the gain of the antenna.  
While an amp would improve your transmit power, it won't improve the power of the mesh nodes transmitting back to you.  If I'm deploying amps, I've always put amps on both sides of a link.

 Are you saying that within a HSMM-Mesh local system (node?) you could connect from one location and view your home IP camera? What about if the HSMM-Mesh has a participant linked to the Internet - would it work - coming in wireless then out to the Internet? So, if we can solve the backbone to interconnect HSMM-Mesh systems/nodes then we could in-theory have a nationwide wireless network? 
 Can someone address: 1.  Limits as to content? 2.  Limits as to bandwidth? 3. Emcomm priority access to HSMM-Mesh?

 Yes...my HP TC runs on a 12V wall supply.  It has been on now 24-7 for two years running my VOIP Phone.

 Would you recommend this antenna w/ mag mount for mobile use?
http://www.amazon.com/Booster-OMNI-Directional-High-Gain-Screw-On-magnetic/dp/B0039ORBLK/ref=pd_cp_e_3
I did not see another one that came with a mag mount.
I do have a mag mount with an N-connector, so I could use something with more gain that is larger and uses that type of connector.
It will be on top of a rented van for the trip so it needs to be a tilt-over, or somewhat short, to avoid being damaged by hotel overhangs, branches, etc.
Thanks!

 We plan a trip that could take us through as many as 10 Mesh-equipped cities.
The amp you listed is no longer available via Amazon (I'd actually prefer a different source).
I spotted this b/g (not n) 2w model (half the power) for $99.
http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-Outdoor-802-11b-Booster-Amplifier/dp/B002R1FXU2/ref=pd_sim_misc_1/177-6404116-6697846
Is that price about what one should expect?
What are the minimum specs I should search for, please?
Perhaps MCMelectronics or Electronic Goldmine or one of the other surplus houses might have something suitable?
Thanks!

 I have set up a node here is Nibley (just south of Logan).  I am working on getting a couple of others setup as well.  Hoping to get some vpn tunnels worked out as well.

 Gerald,
Sounds like an excellent presentation, demo, and I especially like the theme.  I hope we can all see any slides or how-tos from the presentation soon.
Any thoughts on how to coordinate phone numbering across large areas or in a DMATs environment?
