Hello,
I write to ask in the list that brand and references of equipment designed
to work outdoors can recommend me different from the brand Ubiquiti because
for a couple of months we have been having trouble changing the firmware to
this brand computers that are supposedly compatible but come with a new
firmware version and do not allow the installation of libreMesh.
I hope you can give us more information about it.
Thank you.

Hello meshies
I know everybody is having fun at Battle Mesh, but if someone could take a
look at this I' d really appreciate.
I really have my eyes on the C50, as it seems to be the cheapest dual-band
on the market now. I can get on in Brazil for less than 40 USD! Last week I
bought one which I later found out to be an unsupported V2. But now I got a
V1, and it almost works. If it works, I'll the buy about 10 for an
installation in two weeks.
The problem seems to be with 802.11. The 2.4Ghz radio does not work in
ad-hoc mode - although the 5Ghz radio does. Then I don't know if it's
related, but when it meshes with a WDR3500, the Internet is painfully
slow, with some ping times about 1000-2000 milliseconds. Pinging from the
LiMe gateway at the same time gives me a steady 57ms. Perhaps a different
driver should be used?
Attached is a file with information gathered from the router.
A few other oddities (not as important as the issue above):
- Could not flash from stock directly with the compiled LiMe. I had to
first use this openwrt [1], then LiMe
- When I flash from the firmware above with the LiMe I compiled or the
download Lede, I get the message:
" It appears that you try to flash an image that does not fit into the
flash memory, please verify the image file!
Size: 7.63 MB (7.62 MB available)"
It works fine, tough.
- The firmware I cooked with my community settings (using cooker) won't go
through to the Internet, and gives this ESSID instead of my
community's:{{NETWORK_NAME}} (although it meshes with the LiMe gateway)
- The firmware I cooked without community settings connects to the Internet
through the LiMe gateway with the sluggish times above.
Thanks!

Hi folks,
I just met a new vendor in Ecuador, and they're selling these routers which look promising for LibreMesh and inexpensive. Any opinions? Think it might work well with LibreMesh? Datasheet attached as PDF in English. Description here in Spanish. For $23, I might buy one just to experiment.

There are 32 projects for wireless community networks, 9 of these are
LibreMesh related project :D
It's a good opportunity for everyone related to an university
(students or PhD) to start contributing to Wireless Community Networks
software development and earn some cash:

Hi there,
yesterday the Google Summer of Code application period for students started.
If you are a student, select an idea at https://projects.freifunk.net
and add your proposal at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com!
If you know students, please spread the word to them!
Deadline for proposals is April 9. The full timeline you can find at
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
The coding period will be from end of May to end of August. If you're
successful with your project you'll get payed by Google.
Best,
Andi

The most easily available routers in Ecuador with detachable antennas are the TP-Link 841HP v5 and 941HP(UN) v2. Any chance of compatibility with LibreMesh?
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WR841HP_v5.x
CPU: MediaTek MT7628N (575 MHz)
FLA1: 8 MiB (GigaDevice GD25Q64B)
RAM1: 64 MiB (Winbond W9751G6KB-25)
Stock bootloader: U-Boot
Stock FW OS: Linux
I haven't found technical specs for the 941HP(UN) v2.

What happens if I put a larger antenna (say a 9 dBi omni) on a small, low power device (such as a gl.inet AR300M router that comes with 2dBi antennas)?
Hi folks,
We're considering using LibreRouters at an event with over ten thousand people. Some networks would be set up and remain constant for two weeks, and others would be set up for an hour or two, or might even be mobile (sort of like the Pirate Box / Library Box). Some would connect with the internet, others would not.
Any estimate of how many WiFi clients each LibreRouter can handle simultaneously? (I remember hearing a WDR3500 can handle about 20 WiFi clients).
Any ideas about making the network more resistant to interference and malicious attempts to take it down?
Any other suggestions? Different hardware?
Cheers,
Pato
