George Nemeth · Open-Mesh wifi on Bill Callahan’s block
June 8th, 2009
Had lunch last week with Bill. We talked about this project and was glad to hear about it. Sounds like it’s going well. I wonder when it’ll expand to include Tim & Gloria’s electronic cottage a block or so away:
Free Archwood WiFi currently consists of Open-Mesh minrouters on three front porches as well as in two windows, all getting bandwidth from another minirouter attached to a standard DSL router and serving as the gateway. Each minirouter cost only $29. (Well, actually, they cost us nothing so far… we borrowed them from One Community, which is “sponsoring” our experiment in viral networking). Total equipment cost to date: Less than $200.
Most of the nodes have been operating together for the past 48 hours or so, with zero problems or downtime…
