Need help getting started with HSMM-Mesh (https://www.broadband-hamnet.org/)? Want to find out about applications of HSMM-Mesh? Wanna find out if that old WRT54G router in the back of your closet can be reborn as a High Speed MultiMedia (hsmm-mesh) network node? Is your hsmm-mesh node lonely with no one to mesh with? (Awwwww) Have an extra node you want to sell/trade?
Join Mesh “Elmer” (Mesh-mer?) Jesse Alexander WB2IFS/3 for a chance to colearn and coteach about wireless meshes in amateur radio. Dust off that old WRT54G/GS/GL (Versions 1.0 – 4.0) and bring it in with your laptop for a chance to play!

We will also discuss the implications of the end of support for the BBHN firmware running on Linksys/CISCO WRT54s in April 2015. I’ll also bring the Ubiquiti router that I upgraded. EOS does not necessarily mean EOL for WRT54s.
