Even if you don't have broadband Internet access, you can contribute by placing a Meraki access point in your front window, balcony or rooftop, acting as a repeater. The more access points available to the network, the more reliable and resilient it is. Every additional Meraki access point improves DFWFreeNet. text/html 2010-02-16T12:35:59-06:00 http://www.dfwfreenet.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dfwfreenet:hardware&rev=1266345359&do=diff [:dfwfreenet:dfwfreenet_title.gif] Set up a Free WiFi Hotspot Frequently Asked Questions Technical Information Network Map Photo Gallery Links Overview Our primary consideration with hardware selection was cost, reliability and performance. It is our belief that mesh access points need to be as affordable as possible to ensure self-sustained growth of the network. Below is a description of the hardware platform we eventually settled on, after testing and evaluating numerou… text/html 2010-02-16T12:15:28-06:00 http://www.dfwfreenet.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dfwfreenet:software&rev=1266344128&do=diff The following instructions will be obsolete once Meraki starts shipping their mesh routing platform (the Meraki Mini), which comes pre-flashed with their Meraki mesh routing firmware. >> Please see our updated information at Set up a Free WiFi Hotspot and Technical Information text/html 2010-02-16T12:14:51-06:00 http://www.dfwfreenet.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dfwfreenet:nodemap&rev=1266344091&do=diff Node Map >> Please see our updated node map at Network Map text/html 2010-02-16T12:14:23-06:00 http://www.dfwfreenet.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dfwfreenet:network_status&rev=1266344063&do=diff Network Status >> Please see our updated network status page at Network Map text/html 2010-02-16T11:46:29-06:00 http://www.dfwfreenet.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dfwfreenet:news&rev=1266342389&do=diff News * 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. * 6/29/06 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…
