I have 3, e4200 linksys routers which are connected to each other throught 5GHz as a backbone and all have an accesss to the internet as well. As these routers are dual band, I only activated 2.4 GHz interface (beside 5GHz interface) on "just" one of these routers which is intended to operate as an access point for end users. I activated the DHCP just on this interface(2.4)for allocating ip addresses to the end users. Devices can get ip addresses when I use multiple dhcpd on the 2.4 and can ping 10.0.0.8 (see below)
Now the issue that I am dealing with at the moment is that my users are obtaining ip from the 2.4 interface however they have no internet access. Meaning that the router itself has an access to the internet on 5 GHz interfaces and not on the 2.4. My 5GHz interfaces are meshing with each other with the olsr routing and ad-hoc wireless mode.

Editing the firewall rules I can ping the internet(4.2.2.2) from end users connected to my third router on the 2.4 interface but still no webpages are being opened . any suggestions?

This is the dd-wrt site. If yes, it may be a dns lookup issue.
It just worked out! I finally could get the mesh fully operational with 3 dual band E4200 routers, End users can also connect to the internet with relatively hight speed connection. all the connections are just eshtablished through the wireless interfaces and no wired connection is involved.

Good to hear...but for posterity, did you change something, or reboot, or did Per Yngve Berg wave his magical wand? _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

yes I had slight changes on the dhcp and firewall rules and its really hard to get a solid answer here in the forum, anyway thanks for your guide man
