I have setup a quick test of my meshnet and would like to test it, I have loaded my custom Gluon firmware onto the two routers (TL-WA850RE 's ) and I would like to test the meshnet. How should I go about doing so?
Should I connect one via the ethernet port to my web server and try an access that over the mesh?
That will not work, because there is no DHCP server. You will have to assign static IPs or create exactly one DHCP in the mesh. If you need any help please say so!
