WiFi Access Poinst Are Beastly Things nycwireless.net [ Courtesy of NYCwireless member Rob Kelley, whose son I guess it is in the last photo on the page; Quick, Peter. You may still be able to recruit him without a signing bonus ;) See Rob's post of earlier today, below: ] ------ From: Rob Kelley <robjkelley@yahoo.com> Sent: Sat Apr 29 8:58 To: nycwireless@lists.nycwireless.net Subject: [nycwireless] Great Meeting! Wifi Lunchbox, v2 Wow, Wednesday was a great meeting! I think it was the best in a recent string. I'm following up my brief show-n-tell about WifiLunchbox, version 2. This is a simple mod to make a Linksys less stuffy and boring. I'd love us to get a "Wifi Chic" or "Wireless Stylings" theme going. This time I used a simple $5.00 PLASTIC lunchbox (from JAM Paper on 14th and 3rd if you're local). Some big benefits I think. Features: 1. Translucency, better ventilation 2. No dremel drill necessary! Ordinary steak knife does this trick. 3. No signal sucking add-on adapters necessary (thanks Brian!) In this version, I removed the case to highlight the translucency. You should put a piece of metal (aluminum foil) on top of the antenna mounts and lan ports to ground them. Thanks Robin for the suggestion! You don't have to remove the case though.

[802.11s Mesh] Peter, is the new nomenclature used in the following article (Mesh Point=MP, Mesh Access Point MAP, Mesh Point Portal=MPP) consistent with IEEE notation? See diagram at bottom or article. Also, would MPPs also associate with user nodes? Or am I reading it correctly to mean that MPPs only associate with other MPs and wireline (T1, Cable or DSL) backhaul links? TIA. ----- gen-eric.com Oops.. wrong link ;-) That nugget comes from Esther Dyson's blog. Okay, here's the mesh story: -- 802.11s extends wireless outdoors IEEE working to develop standard for wireless LAN mesh networks. By Jim Murphy and Ashok Saraf, Network World, 04/17/06 Access points interconnected with peer-to-peer wireless links create a backhaul infrastructure called a wireless mesh network. These networks extend service across large geographic areas, such as campuses or metropolitan areas, facilitating expanded broadband wireless applications. Continued at: networkworld.com
