That's what wds does. It's slow and doesn't work very well for more than a couple of people at a time though. We build out with tranzeo cpe then broadcast with MT ap's. I like the physical separation between the actual radios, not just the antennas. marlon - Original Message - From:

We've used Openmesh and Meraki products to extend the coverage of our Qnodes inside concrete buildings, basements, etc. These are single-radio devices, so the bandwidth is only adequate for surfing and email. But they work great and are dirt cheap, we just hook up one of them to the ethernet

Tom, I've been looking at OpenMesh to do the same thing outside, but can't wrap my head around the Dashboard being outside the network. Hit me off list if you wish to share. Phil Curnutt, LCWireless, Santa Fe, NM On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 11:22 AM, Tom Sharples tsharp...@qorvus.com wrote:

Go on Ebay and look for the Pepwave Peplink Surf or the Surf AP They are surplus Earthlink and are exactly for that purpose. I have used hundreds of them to extend Tropos Ralph -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Alan
