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.

Are you using the antenna that comes from factory, or using a custom
made one?
