TUNNEL HELP
Well  I have the following done..

2 AirRouters  running  the latest firmware..
 TUNNEL server on one and Tunnel client on the other   and I am able to get them connected..

Is there a  "dummy" how to guide to do the following...

I have   a piece of equipment      hooked  to   each router that I want  the equipment to see each other and "think" they are on the same network   etc  so they can link up.   and sync..    1 dr2x repeater   on 1 air router  and 1 dr2x repeater on the  other air-router.      my mind is warped  what am i missing in all of this ?


It seems   on both air routers     each have different  10.  ip address schemes  and  the tunnel is  172 . address    Am i missing something on how to have  1 address talk to another?

Strictly speaking a device on
Strictly speaking a device on one mesh node is on a different network segment than a device on a another mesh node.

However the routing abilities handle the linking of these two networks together just like the internet does.

I’m not familiar with the DR2X linking but if it accepts putting an IP in you simply put the repeaters IP in and they should be able to talk to each other the mesh nodes handle getting the packets to where they need to go.

Yes   you can assign ip
Yes   you can assign ip address to each   Dr2x in their menu.  Where do you mean  "put the repeaters IP in"       Do i need to do some sort of port forwarding etc  basically just like linking to  laptops together   the repeaters uses port 21110

1 mesh  node  the repeater address is  10.68.165.90     and the other  mesh node the repeater  address is   10.68.167.56       is the way the mesh nodes assigned them.   and they  mesh nodes are tunneled together  by 172.31.171.80      since they are on 2 different locations

For the repeaters to link I
For the repeaters to link I assume each repeater needs to know the IP address of the other (again I’ve only quick glanced DR2x linking) so you would need to somehow program each with info about the IP of the other.

At least one person has done it they may be able to provide more info then I can as I’m not proficient with the DR2X linking.

Dr2x Linking..
Here is what i did so far to link them..    I have not tried the tunnel yet..
2 air routers.       1 repeater each hooked  to   each router  on LAN PORT 1
I let the DHCP work and let the aredn node assign it an IP address. I then  went in and reserved it.     I did this on each router for each repeater.  

 Repeater 1 had a ip address of 10.35.251.153   It was one of the 5 direct host's in this  router set up     This repeater  is on router 1

Repeater 2 had a ip address of 10.35.171.94  It was one of the 5 direct host's in this router set up.     This repeater is connected to router 2 

That was it..   Both repeaters then saw each other and communicated fine to each other via  RF.. 


I hope this helps..
