Document how to share Internet access with no mesh around #12

Closed probonopd closed 10 years ago

probonopd commented 10 years ago

I would like to share my Internet connectivity with my neighbors using a MeshKit-generated image, and have it show a splash screen where the user must agree to the TOS. However, since there is no Freifunk initiative where I live, i would like to set this up without any mesh or Freifunk aspect. Basically I just would like to connect the MeshKit-flashed router via Ethernet to my home network router (which includes a DHCP server).

I have been trying to set this up for a couple of hours now without success. Can you please give clear instructions how to do this? I assume it should be easy, but apparently it is not.

This should be simple. In Meshkit select "Expert Mode" and then under wan settings "share internet connection". Also make sure your wan settings are ok. Most probably DHCP will be the right setting. Then connect the Meshkit-Router with its WAN-Port to your home routers LAN. Clients on the Meshkit Router should now get the splash page and be able to use your internet. Documentation for meshkit covers this. But its german only: http://doc.meshkit.freifunk.net/daily/html/generate/generate.html#b-konfiguration-der-firmware-expertenmodus
