Hi meshers,
I'm trying to help a friend with his home network. He has his Sonic router
upstairs and someone has run a cable from it to his kitchen (I've tested
the cable and it's good). He has a wifi extender placed in the middle of
the upstairs but the wifi signal downstairs is very weak. He has mobility
challenges, so he prefers to work downstairs.
My question is, what is the best device to plug into the kitchen ethernet
cable that will deliver strong wifi to the downstairs area? I'm remembering
back in the distant past there were Wireless Access Points made by Linksys
that did that job. I don't see any around now. I'm also thinking about the
routers used for the Sudomesh project that were configured to share some
bandwidth publicly. I still have mine -- it is a MyNet N600. But it would
need to be reconfigured for my friend's home network (it wouldn't be useful
as part of the mesh being downstairs)? Have to admit I've forgotten
everything I learned a few years ago about the mesh! :(
The bandwidth he's getting from Sonic is only 48 mbps.
I'd appreciate any advice.
thanks
Hilary

Hi folks, we are doing roofing work at omni. Everything's getting
coated with white elastomeric paint. But there's antennas with
ethernet cord running every which way. Who's responsible for these? Is
it ok to unplug them for a few days? Otherwise the cords are just
going to be painted over in-place and stuck there forever.
Semi-urgent as we'll probably need to decide by tomorrow.

Hi sudo meshers!
It's been a while since we've all hung out.
A lot has changed and many of us are in different places both mentally and
physically since sudo mesh was last properly active.
That being said I feel like we still all have things that are exciting to
us relating to decentralized internet things. Maybe some old projects
should be officially shelved. Maybe people have ideas for new things they'd
like to hack on.
Let's meet up and talk about what we are excited about and what we want for
the future. If nothing else we can at least decide on a recurring time to
hang out and hack on cool stuff together.
Here are a few options for when to meet:
https://doodle.com/poll/kbmffxz6i2aib9wg?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
The hangout will be both in person at Omni and online simultaneously.
Remember that masks are required at Omni at all times. I don't believe Omni
requires vaccines but sudo room and CCL both do while sudo mesh has no
policy so I'll just personally request that people don't show up in person
if they aren't vaccinated.

The oakland internet choice initiative is picking up speed!
> The Oakland Internet Choice Coalition (OICC) is organizing to provide a
legal path requiring landlords of large multi-tenant buildings to allow
*any *qualified Internet service provider to serve their tenants.
Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan is looking for community
support in the next couple of months.
If you live in Oakland, read more about it and send her an email:
https://takeaction.salsalabs.org/oicc0
I think passing this ordinance is going to be a really important step to
support independent ISPs in their fight against the big monopolies.
