Hi ALL,
Im looking at setting up a MESH network for a local community but not to sure where to start.
Im looking at setting up a MESH network for a local community but not to sure where to start.
Has anyone had any experience of doing such a project?
If so what equipment, software etc...
The system is to be a closed "Off Grid" system with no internet attached at this time.
I know I will need a Web server & email server
Would a DNS server be used so people can have a domain name of this network?

Take a look at Broadband Hamnet. It is a full mesh network using commodity Linksys WRT-54G's (though the have said next version will not support them, which is kind of a crap move IMHO). In any case, Ubiquity's are not too expensive, but definitely not as commodity.
The project is really cool, but as I write this I am starting to question their ability to execute, their direction, and their intentions.
