Ok, I have mine set up and flashed with firmware to 3.0
When I look for wireless connections I see it as BroadbandHamnet-20v3
I have tried to connect with laptop and straight Cat5 cable to use the web interface but I am unable to get in.
Do you connect to the LAN or WAN ports?
Are you using a straight through cable or a crossover cable?
Russ,
Thanks for your help - I did what you recommended plus used IE instead of Chrome
Now can I connect an IP camera to the node using one of the LAN ports and then do some settings need to be changed in the setup?
Once a camera is connected what do we use to view the camera?

Ok, I'm giving it a try. Router on the way. Our club president has mentioned BBHN a few times but no one has been interested. You all gave me a reason to be interested. At least when I get it running I'll have someone in town to check it out with.
Tim:
Russ's comment is right on. What I did, which made it really simple for me, was to connect both the camera and computer to the LAN ports of the node I plan to dedicate to the camera. Using the IP Camera Tool that comes with the camera I got into the camera and obtained the IP address of the camera (make sure it's a static address - as in don't check the DHCP box). Once I had the address, and as long as the camera is connected to that node, I was able to open up the camera from any other node by just typing the IP address in the web browser. When you do that the sign-in box for the camera will pop up and you just sign in and, presto, there's the camera controls and what it is seeing. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Yhatzee - I got it
Camera I had on hand set up and working now.
The biggest problem I had was figuring out the default gateway but got it all dialed in and viewing camera on laptop.
Now I need more routers!!
Thanks,
Router arrived yesterday. Flashed firmware this morning. Everything went as described at Broadband-Hamnet. I guess a camera is the next step...
1 More router on the way and just ordered 2 Yagi antennas.

What are you using for feed line and connectors?
Seems like you guys are having some success. I've been slighting challenged and requested some personal tutoring by Elmer Russ. If all goes well I'll have two nodes up tomorrow sometime (Sat Dec 13).
