Nice discovery Mark,
I would like to make few nodes providing AP + Mesh for Festival this
summer...
Again: Do NOT expect ANY USB wifi device to serve more than 5-7 clients
in AP mode or perform decently in mesh mode. For cjdns this usually
doesn't matter because people connect to a couple of peers on the
Internet and then have a very small number of local neighbours.
And if you want to servce a crowd with WiFi the AP is the even bigger
problem here, running 802.11s on a USB interface may work as long as
there are only very few neighbours.
So honestly: Why bother with SBC made for displaying advertisements on
screens to build a router? There are tons of good router SBC and you
can buy them reday-made in a plastic case in the supermarket.
Discovering DJDNS, very enthousiast about perspectives..
Did you tried any modules in prototype-cjdns-pi
<https://github.com/tomeshnet/prototype-cjdns-pi>?
Any advice to follow?
Thx

Look here for details on which Wifi Adapters to use and a CJDNS/Mesh build

Hi,
Do you have a recommended chef firmware build and prefered USB wifi
dongle to wire on a RPI Zero W

Then it could be a cheap and neat LibreMesh node whith 2 wlan
interfaces ?!
USB WiFi is not what you may expect from a mesh router, especially not
if you got two of them and your Ethernet-port also being a USB device
on the same bus...
This may work for simple station mode or APs serving only very few
stations, but for 802.11s/mesh, Ad-Hoc or busy vAPs USB just isn't
good enough.
