Awesome -- thanks Marc!

I think outdoor is best, and I will attach it to the same chunk of wood you and I already installed.

I assume bandwidth allocation can be tweaked in the future if needed. I'd like to err on the side of "too much" and only dial it back if my own performance suffers. So how about 6 Mbps downstream, and if it's possible to set separately, 0.8 Mbps upstream? Open to suggestion of course.

I could also use a little help understanding the recommended network topology, and perhaps figuring out how to tweak it in my case. Is there a concise and up to date writeup/diagram of how nodes should be set up, how the private and public networks interact, etc.?

I can flash you an omnidirectional node but i can't help you mount it this weekend. Let me know if you want an outdoor or indoor node and how much up/down bandwidth you want to share :)

Hi Meshers!

Sorry I've dropped off the discussion lately, things have been hectic...but I'm still here!

Right now, I have two neighbors who explicitly want to share my wifi, and rather than setting up something limited to us, it makes sense to just establish a node. I have a good head-start, since Marc helped me mount a directional antenna/router a while back; I don't think that particular thing is necessary for the immediate goal, but I do think that using the existing mount and cabling, and a non-directional router in the same location, would be a good first step.

My neighbor is in school, and eager to get something set up ASAP. I'm wondering if there's anybody who could give me a hand, perhaps even this weekend? And is there a multi-directional router available to set up a node?
