I am getting started with HSMM-Mesh technology and am waiting on the arrival of a Linksys WRT54GS that I plan to put BBHN firmware on and install the tunnel client on. Because of this, I am looking for people who would be willing to give me access to their tunnel servers. Send me a Pm through the website and I'll get back with you.
Thanks and 73, Augustine W8AWT

I suggest trying an UBNT AirRouter (around $40). They are fully supported on AREDN and can get you into the VALUABLE Part 97 spectrum. You'll be frustrated with the part 15 limits of the WRT54G's.
Just a tip...
Could you recommend a dealer for the AirRouter? Trying to stay away from Amazon if possible.
We have used the following vendors: Streakwave, ISP Supplies, Flytec Computers
I am sure there are others but these 3 vendors seem to be among the most used.

How much benefit would I receive from the spending 30 dollars extra on the HP (High Power) AirRouter?
i actually prefer the HP version becuase it is power over ethernet just like all other UBNT devices. The AirRouter (non-HP) requires a 5VDC wall wart to power it.
I now have my Node set up and the Tunnel Client installed. I am still looking for servers to connect to. Even though this is the AREDN forum I was hoping to find some people here since the AREDN and BBHN tunnels are interoperable. Also I was hoping to find some willing people here since this forum is now more active than the BBHN one. My node name is W8AWT-QTH-TUNCLIENT
Waiting in eager suspense,
Augustine, W8AWT
