Re: Interesting idea said by Ancalagon:If it works, great...but I can't imagine there wouldn't be significant signal degradation from daisy-chaining a bunch of wireless routers/repeaters. Actually, the term you are looking for is "throughput" rather than "signal" degradation.
But yes, that is true. This effect is well-known with mesh systems, especially those that use a single frequency.

New York, NY | I have experienced this firsthand. If I am not mistaken, each "hop" without an internet connection halves the available throughput. After the third or forth "hop" this system will be slowed to a dial up crawl. The self configuration of the units does seem pretty cool however, and it certainly would make setting up small networks easier for those less technically inclined.
