[olug] Long range WiFi - maybe somewhat OT

[Craig Wolf]

I will second Ubiquity for the AP's and a Cloudkey controller.  In my
house, my soho Asus router picks up 5 networks in the area.  I am working
with a couple Ubiquity Long Range AP's and they are picking up 66 networks
in my area.  Pretty impressive.

Not sure about the Meshability of that particular AP though...
