Routers are not able to connect in ad-hoc mode using OSLR

[tusharmalpani20]

I have configured my raspberry pi with olsr, but while connect it to another router it isnt working.
Looking for some help here.

/etc/config/wireless

Thanks for the help.

for setting up I followed this guide.

[markbirss]

check output of to confirm mesh support of wifi

iw phy

or

use USB wifi adapters like RT2800 that support mesh

or

use mesh over ethernet

That's the output i got.

[markbirss]

yes IBBS is for adhoc mesh

other adapters will show MESH for 802.11s

refer to these guides to see if you missed something with your OLSR configuration

usually the libraries and json support programs

also you need HNA settings for each network or subnet and 0.0.0.0 for the gateway node

Also look at this previous thread

Creating a Mesh Network (with OLSR Protocol) for multiple Access Points

[meshnet%20(1)] Hello everyone, above is a simple diagram of project. I use several Raspberry Pi 3s as mesh nodes for this project. I have made each of them connected to each other with OLSR protocol using this tutorial https://justingoetz.net/display/PB/2019/04/10/Comprehensive+guide+to+running+OLSR+over+WPA2+on+OpenWRT. Below is a Wireless Configuration Overview of one RPi that is connected to internet via ethernet port. config fi-device 'radio0' option type 'mac80211' optio…

I tried a lot with raspberry pi but couldn't get it working:(
