Awesome -- thanks Marc!
I think outdoor is best, and I will attach it to the same chunk of wood
you and I already installed.
Ok.
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.
Sounds fair. You can change it at any time.
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.?
You don't really have to do anything other than plug it into power and your
own network.
The technical overview is here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh#Technical_overview
and the network topology page is here:

Matt is working on a nice animated diagram as well. I'm not sure if it's
ready yet.
One note: We're still in the debugging phase and we are experiencing
intermittent service outages. If these begin affecting your before we get
them fixed then we'd appreciate your help in reporting and understanding
the problems.

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?
