Hello everyone I have some questions and hopefully someone can answer them. I got my hands on some free equipment, a couple of MANTBOX 15s and a RB4011iGS+ I don't find software for the last one and I'd like to use it as a router since the ManTBOX only has one port. which leads to my second question... How do I set up the MANTBOX to connect to the internet or tunnels, It doesn't seem to conntect because it sees the only eth port as LAN port. I gave it an address in my local subnet but still wont connect to internet. Thank you all for the knowledge, I'm very new to AREDN and feel a little stuck
Dear K4DOJ:
Hello everyone I have some questions and hopefully someone can answer them.
I got my hands on some free equipment,
a couple of MANTBOX 15s and a RB4011iGS+
I don't find software for the last one and I'd like to use it as a router since the ManTBOX only has one port.
There is 0.0000% chance of AREDNmesh.org firmware being available for a device until
it appears in https://openwrt.org/toh/start
See: http://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/readme.md
"The AREDN® firmware is based on OpenWrt with additional packages and patches."
and see: https://openwrt.org/toh/start
which leads to my second question...
How do I set up the MANTBOX to connect to the internet or tunnels,
It doesn't seem to conntect because it sees the only eth port as LAN port.
I gave it an address in my local subnet but still wont connect to internet.

"Usage Information
Ethernet Port usage
The standard Ethernet port of an AREDN® device uses the following vlan tags. An 802.1Q switch is necessary to utilize the vlan tagged networks"

Chuck pointed you to an explanation about how you get three separate LANs from the single port of the Mantbox.
BTW, if you decide that the RB4011iGS+ is of no value to you, I would happily make it worth your while to take it off your hands as it does have value to me as a spare.
