Cannot ssh to aimesh node

[MarkusI]

Hi,

I have enabled SSH on the main router and can ssh into it.

When trying to ssh into any aimesh node, I get a connection refused.

Do I need to enable ssh per node separately and if so, how?

Thx
Markus

As a test I enabled SSH on my router and logged in from my Linux desktop. Logged out then logged into my AiMesh node successfully.
You could try disabling then enabling SSH access on the router. Also remove the node and add it again to the mesh. It is possible the SSH setting did not get added to the node.

Thx! Will try!

Just want to say for searchers who find this thread like I did... this totally worked for me.

Dropped the node, added it back.

Firmware updates must have made AImesh stuff a little better since I set the system up some time ago, because it went smoother than before (didn't have to dance around with multilple tries and trying to "hit the window" of a timeout on the node).

As soon as it came back, my full SSH setup (BitVise client FTW) for the primary router worked perfectly just with IP address change. This definitely wasn't the case before, it was refusing any kind of SSH login method.

I will add that I poked around, and it seems like some other things may have changed?

The master router ALSO pushed out the scheduled-reboot settings to the node. Without me doing anything it has exactly the same reboot settings as the main router now (and I set a weird hours/minutes time for that so its easily identifiable as being pushed out.

Config = Merlin on main router, ASUS FW on the node, based on recc's around here that for nodes non-Merlin is fine/preferrred

Dropped the node, added it back.

And I even didn't need to remove and readd the AiMesh nodes; rebooting them after enabling SSH on the master made them pick up the change and enable SSH, too.

(I am talking about three ASUS RT-BE92U units on Merlin 3006.102.5, with the AiMesh master operating in AP mode.)
