As for the ease of set up.. hmmm its a nighmare however you attempt it.. small scale local links are prone to flakeyness.. both human and tech.. that said we have built up a 40 node mesh in SE8 and about using meshAP and have much of it working most of the time (: but it takes a huge effort and constant monitoring. http://boundless.coop/?p=home&id=98 easy James Steve Kennedy wrote: > On Fri, Feb 09, 2007 at 11:27:51AM +0000, Julian Bond wrote: > > >> Any comments on the relative merits of the MIT Roofnet project and >> they're new ultra cheap repeaters from Meraki, as compared with >> LocustWorld? >> http://meraki.net/ >> Meraki seem to be saying it's relatively easy to build a mesh with >> multiple upstream broadband and multiple repeaters.
