Richmond Free Wireless
I recently installed two little white boxes on my network. This white boxes are for Richmond Free Wireless which is a community driven wifi network that plans to cover the entire Richmond area with WiFi providing free internet access to everyone. What’s nice about these units is basically all you do is plug it into an internet connection. There’s hardly any work for the end user. What’s also awesome about them is that not all units need internet access. For every ten units, only one needs to be physically connected to the internet. The others act as nodes and repeat the signal of the gateway.
Right now I have one unit inside connected to my network, and one unit out in my garage acting as a repeater with a 9dBi antenna attached to it to spread the signal even further. If you can, please help out RFW by hosting a repeater or gateway. You can see pictures of the two units here. They take up almost no space at all.
