Solution : Connect with SSH to your router and execute :

nvram set wifi_ifname=eth1 nvram commit

ceci est corrigé dans 0.2.1.1

Internet connexion drops every 5 minutes.

Explanation : The Dynamic gateway behaves incorrectly because it uses traceroute the wrong way to tell if the inet connection is still alive.

Solution : In the firmware web interface, specify the "addresses to ping" field with at least two host like : google.fr;free.fr

Using several Polaris routers in a mesh, inet can't be reached from "slaves"

Explanation : the wifidog daemon has to be able to reach the internet itself ( at least the wifidog server) in order to redirect the first request. A script in the cron.minutly is supposed to add automaticcaly the OLSR neighbours see http://dev.wifidog.org/wiki/doc/gateway-server/WifiDogAndOlsr

When accessing the admin link from the firmware welcome page, a 403 forbidden is returned

Explanation : for security reasons when accessing the admin interface from the internet on through Wifi, user has to use https.

Solution : use https://IP.Of.Your.Router
