Setting up a new Open-Mesh network

[Elliot]

Hi,

I'm looking into setting up a new open-mesh (i think) network for my
street in bondi junction to share my net connection.

The batman/robin software looks to do everything I'd like an much
more, just wondering if I could get any tips from people who have gone
down this road.

The pricing looks good at the moment, with the US model for $29 and
the EU/AU one for $39 (i've emailed to ask if thats a mistake, or if
not if i can just use their 95c au power adapter).

Also, would anyone be interested in a group buy to save on shipping?

Elliot

Hi Elliot,

That would be cool!
I do remember there was someone else with a mesh network somewhere in
Bondi Junction,
but don't remember who (though he used Meraki I believe, from back
when they were cheap).

I myself have a single Open-Mesh router, so haven't been able to set
it up in a mesh, but I mainly (still) use Meraki, and haven't used the
Open-Mesh in a while. But back then it was easy to set up. Only thing
is, first time you plug it in, and it connects to the internet, it
updates itself, and you will have to wait 5 minutes before you can
actually use it to wirelessly connect to (so don't freak out that it
isn't working :)
If you could write down anything you experience setting it up, and
maybe do a blogpost about it, that would be much appreciated.
If you're on Facebook, you could also try the facebook group to ask
for group buy.

When you do add one, please add it to http://icanhazmeraki.net/ too.

Thanks for getting in touch!

Regards,
JJ
