| * **6/22/06** The first DFWFreeNet mesh access point has been built and is currently being tested. This access point is based on the Mini-ITX platform and is running LocustWorld's MeshAP software. | * **6/22/06** The first DFWFreeNet mesh access point has been built and is currently being tested.

| * **6/29/06** Testing the LocustWorld MeshAP has gone fairly well, only the weirdness of WIANA (and general lack of documentation) causing any trouble. I don't like being dependant on a 3rd party (WIANA) service and the hardware cost is way too high for widespread adoption. I'm leaning towards a single radio mesh design (being aware of the disadvantages) due to the cost of an additional radio and directional antenna. There are also increased installation costs with a dual radio mesh. Being a community driven project, the additional bandwidth and reduced latency of a dual radio mesh doesn't outweight the increased cost per MeshAP. | * **6/29/06** Testing the LocustWorld MeshAP has gone fairly well, only the weirdness of WIANA (and general lack of documentation) causing any trouble.
