I am new to Aredn and networking.  
I flashed my Bullet and its working showing a SSID I can access occasionally with a Linux computer.  I can say it is though to get to the AREDN page with any computer except an I pad pro.  I connect it directly to the internet  via a Google switch or to an external switch to the Google one.  The problem is I can connect to the ARDEN node to test but it will not get on the internet.  I then connected it into a DD-RT router to separate it from the network and tried again to connect to the rocket and it would not let me get on the internet.  

The plan is to use these between location at field day but one has to get on the internet since we are connecting. Yes I have selected allow others to use my myWAN.  Am I missing something but can a Aredn node not be connected to the internet? 
 

This is from an I phone connect to the bullert’s Wifi 
IPV4 Addresses
Configure IP automatic 
IP Address     192.168.136
Subnet Mask     255.255..255.0 
Router     this was blank. 
 
I do not know why I don’t get why I don’t get the router numbers.  Note if I connect it directly to my internet switch I get the same thing.  
What I find interesting the DD-WRT router will show router address for itself with or without internet.

Tim, you need to read the

Tim, you need to read the https://arednmesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ to start with and you will have a much better experience with AREDN.

You can't connect to a node using WiFi without an access point or connecting directly to the LAN of your node with a computer. If you know anyone already using mesh networking that can walk you though the steps would also be helpful. Please read the above and look around the forum and you will find all the answers to your questions and then some.

Denis,
Denis,

Thank you for getting back to me on my question. I have read the documentation you mentioned. Unfortunately it is very limited for getting started. We trying to put together a demo for field day. After building several Linked DD-WRT systems I am surprised the AREDN system software is not what I expected. I am thinking the documentation should be aimed at networking for non networking people. I don't understand why the AREDN software would not take a router address since I know the router offered the address.  It would help to know why to move on.

Yes I have a node up and running.  My goal was to connect to the node via RF to monitor it.  I have done this with other Ubiquity nodes for a different application to extend internet for camping.  What I am missing is how the AREDN node operates different than the native software.  Yes I want connect it to my internet to monitor the node.  Working with it the software appears to not to support RF WiFi connection but Ethernet appears to work, but not like I thought it would. I saw the block diagram you showed and I did not see that when I read the starting document. That is helpful I will work from there to get internet connected.  
Thank you,
Tim
