all credits to the chef cook!
i'm preparing the documentation about the installation, will post here when
it's done. but basically we got a grant from the state of rio to do a free
networks workshop in the favela, which would of course end up in a
functioning network. we got a link from the federal university nearby,
which was a great push.
we needed the gain, so there was no advantage to use another antenna.
but i just saw the omnidirectional hack on the openwrt wiki, seems neat.
we actually need to find a way of making a DIY directional antenna like the
altermundi model. we never found a metalsmith who could replicate it here.

The reason I'm flashing these is that we
installed a small network in
a favela here last week, and
the wdr3500 didn't have enough reach. Not
only the nearest nods were
far (anything from 200m to 2km), but also all the interference we
had (it's a really dense neighborhood) made any link with more than
100m very poor. The plan now is to connect the most important nodes
with those.
Are you using the antenna that comes from factory, or using a custom
made one?
