Hello All,
I currently live two blocks south of NodeKentonStation and was
wondering if it would be possible to extend this nodes signal to reach
my house. There is currently an unused dish on my roof (not sure about
direct line of site) and a Linksys WRT54GL router
(http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Linksys/WRT54GL)
available for use. We do not have high speed internet access in the
house so my thought was that we could amplify the pre-existing signal
/ connection from Kenton Station for use on my block. I'm not sure if
this configuration makes sense or is the best approach.
I'm a bit of a newbie with regards to mesh networking but am ready and
willing to learn and assist in any way to make this configuration
possible.
Any info / feedback you could provide would be great. I'm a long time
fan/user of the PTP and really appreciate everything the group has
done for Portland. Thanks!
-Kevin
