• Setting up and testing encryption

The core functionality of a Commotion router is its ability to mesh with other nodes. This section tests the ability for routers to mesh wirelessly.

• 2 commotion wireless routers

These tests should be run once through on both a 2.4 and 5ghz device to cover all test configurations.

• Unencrypted
  • Configure both routers to use the same channel and ssid for the mesh interface. Do not use encryption at this point.
  • Test Wireless Connectivity as above.
• Encrypted
  • Add the same encryption password to each router in “Basic –> Basic Configuration –> Mesh Network”
  • Test Wireless Conecctivity as above.
• Signed routes encrypted
  • add a shared mesh key-chain to each node
• Test Wireless Conecctivity as above.
• Signed routes unencrypted
  • Remove the encryption password on both nodes
• Test wireless connectivity as above
• Using the Wireshark section of the shared mesh key-chain instructions check that each node is signing their routing packets

This test explores when a Commotion node attempts to use a wireless access point (not associated with the mesh) as an Internet gateway.

• 2 commotion wireless routers
• 1 home/businees non-commotion router providing an access point

• Unencrypted
  • Configure two nodes to have compatable UNENCRYPTED mesh settings
    • test wireless connectivity as above
  • Follow the “Wireless Gateway Connection” instructions found http://commotionwireless.net/docs/cck/installing-configuring/common-configurations on one node (now called the gateway)
    • Test for gateway connectivity as below
