“Occupy.here began two years ago as an experiment for the encampment at Zuccotti Park. It was a wifi router hacked to run OpenWrt Linux (an operating system mostly used for computer networking) and a small "captive portal" website. When users joined the wifi network and attempted to load any URL, they were redirected to http://occupy.here. The web software offered up a simple BBS-style message board providing its users with a space to share messages and files.” • #крипта - × × ×

“Since then Occupy.here has become my zen garden, a tiny self-contained internet I've been developing slowly and methodically.” - × × ×

“In this second, decentralized phase, I've seen a modest volume of use by internet standards, perhaps a handful of posts per week. There are patterns in how it gets used according to where the router is situated. The Zuccotti Park router was a popular venue for middle-aged men to upload selfies. Another one, hidden in the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art (installed without permission), mostly receives multi-lingual variations on "hello world" or "why doesn't the wifi work?" A handful of users have written more substantially, but it amounts to a message in a bottle, floating in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum.” - × × ×

Судя по фотке, в этой прошивке нужно два wifi интерфейса. Недавно как раз почитал проект радиолюбительского меша (http://hsmm-mesh.org/) состоящего из стандартных рутеров. Радиолюбительский он потому, что каналы 1-6 wifi находятся внутри разрешенной радиолюбителям полосы частот, а радиолюбители могут излучать в десятки раз большей мощностью, чем потребительские рутеры. Это драматически увеличивает покрытие меша при том же количестве нод. - Что-то равно чему-то.
