Hi all,
Apologies if this is a little bit off topic - more wireless than
linux, but it does look such a sweet tiny little linux AP, with the
possibility of auto meshing - if it can find another one to talk to, that is ..
I started looking for a WRT54Gxx for a AP at home but found reference
to a Meraki in my travels, so I then spent a enjoyable
evening trawling the Meraki website ... and other comments found on google.au
Looks a nice box, cheap (under $US50 - yea AU$ to US$ exchange rate)
... but the transport cost sadly looks equivalent to the cost of one unit ...
Anyone interested in getting some sent over and split the transport cost?
Regards,
Edwin
