Re: Hosting a WiFi hotspot?

I would host a hotspot if I could conveniently isolate the traffic from the rest of my network. It would also be extremely helpful if the device had longer range of broadcast or an antenna that could be used to to cast a wider net.

I've gone to enough places and wished I had WiFi access that I could legitimately use. I would participate if only to ease this burden on other folks.

Cool, thanks for your thoughts. Both of these items have been included. LAN isolation is part of the config, so you don't need to worry about your systems seeing traffic from the WiFi side.

Also, the radio has better than average output - BUT, the cool part is that it forms a mesh with other radios. So, you could put on at the front of the house, one at the back, one in the detached garage, the granny unit - the neighbor's house - etc. Each unit repeats the signal onward, growing the mesh.
