This is the second router I setup on the Parkcenter lobby. I powered it and it formed the mesh instantly. My signal strength indicator bar shot up as soon as I powered it up. After 2 minutes it started appearing in my online dashboard also. This stuff inside parcenter lobby can give range upto Bhavani entrance.

Open mesh networks should really be community efforts. Its really boring to climb buildings and setup routers if you are alone. Here the technopark security is helping me with the signal strength measurement. Time 2 Am in the morning.

This is the gateway router. Its connected to my office internet connection. Surprisingly, It started working as soon as I plugged in the connection and turned it on. It was not connected to the internet connection directly. I connected it through a linksys router lan port. Still it had no issues connecting to the network.

The picture shows the 3 routers which I got from meraki. The devices are very small compared to normal access point and routers.
The Indian customs put a customs duty of 35% on the package, upon the 51$ which I already paid. In effect I ended up paying 85$ per router to get it to my office.
Now Im gonna setup a single router as gateways and get a meraki account to check out the features of the dashboard.

Search for the ultimate mesh networking platform ends here. Meraki Networks, a company from the MIT, founded by Sanjit Biswas, John Bicket and Hans Robertson has the best solution for creating your own mesh network.
With Meraki repeaters, all you have got to do is power up a few of them and plug a broadband internet connection to one of them. The repeaters will configure itself provide the optimized access to all connected users.
The most beautiful part of their solution is the web based dash board they provide. Every meraki router connects and reports to their hosted backend. The network admin can monitor his network online. The web dashboard also allows you to limit access to the network, charge for the service and also set bandwidth limits.
Their product suite contains an indoor router that costs 49$ and an outdoor router that costs 99$. The web dashboard is free to use.
The beauty of their business idea lies in the fact that every router needs to communicate with their backend. Think about the implications of this -;)
