[Mesh] mesh routers

Pretty useful hardware suggestions I got from #olsr on freenode: 02:27 < soma> generally almost everything that bases on ar71xx is probably the best hardware for openwrt (good cpu/ram and good ath9k wifi driver) 02:27 < legind> I've heard that having 2 cpu cores is preferable in mesh routing 02:28 < soma> for indoor there are a lot of options where some tp-links are quite cheap. e.g. wr1043nd or wdr3600. there are also cheaper ones like wr703 or wr741, but they only have 4MB flash. thats enough, but i personally wouldn't want them because restricted space in flash is uncool 02:28 < soma> for outdoors ubiquiti stuff is my favorite 02:28 < soma> why 2 cores? 02:29 < soma> better 2 wifi interfaces 02:32 < legind> one core handles the mesh network and one for internal lan 02:33 < legind> thanks for the suggestions soma 02:34 < soma> that depens on your usecase then. maybe thats good if you want to route traffic from e.g. lan to wan at 1gbps all the time, then it could make sense. but for all normal needs 1 core is imo enough and i also think platforms with 2 cores are just starting to come out
