Worth area called DFWFreeNet - http://www.dfwfreenet.org We're deploying Meraki Mini's in outdoor enclosures with high gain antennas to increase range. We have a few sites up now and are always looking for individuals interested in community wireless networking to help build the network. Netequality’s wall plug Meraki is a great solution to public installations, such as hotels or apartment complexes. A torx screw is included so you can secure the Meraki to the center screw on the outlet. The routing protocol has been improved and only about every tenth Meraki needs to be plugged into an Internet connection (provided all 10 are within 3 or 4 hops of the gateway) which can cover a good sized area if the gateway Meraki is at the center. Regarding the Anonymous post, at least one of these needs to be connected to the Internet. The idea is that a neighborhood can share a single DSL connection (possibly spliting the cost, brining the cost of broadband Internet access to a few dollars a month) if everyone gets one of these wireless routers.
