A friend turned me on to this some time ago. I have yet to set up any mesh networks but it does look VERY promising. http://hsmm-mesh.org/
It's an okay networking technology. It's a few generations behind what we're actually fielding these days but they're using OLSR for maintaining the routing table, so that's something. It's also hams only, so I'd advise caution if you don't have your ticket but want to experiment with it, new nodes that aren't recognized will draw a lot of attention. One of the gotchas from their FAQ: "You can't use Wi-Fi to connect to a mesh node from your computer, netbook, smart phone or other wireless device." Back to hardwiring. Go Ubiquiti. Linksys hardware is bobbins these days. https://openwrt.org/ -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703/415] [ZS] PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "You've seen one elemental core, you've seen 'em all."
