that's it. I'm interested in this as well. Trying to learn about different approaches here https://reddit.com/r/darknetplan There seems to be a huge focus on WiFi I'm not sure if that's going to cut it.

wifi has been improved alot, i think it'll do fine as long as everyone uses decent routers/wifi adapters :)

i plan to buy a half height mini pcie adapter that has the atheros ar9462 in it for my laptop, my tower uses a tp link adapter that has the rtl8192cu in it, works nicely with the rtl-fixes dkms module.

it's better then having your neighbor's tearin up their lawns to install optic lines or something, lol

yeah good points. There might be room for radios in the new internet too, especially to increase the range in rural areas. not that you could ever watch a video over that connection. oh you're the radio guy. are there any registration free bands that you can send digital info over? just trying to get to like a 10 mile range, nothing too crazy.

yea, the use of radio would be cool, the best license/registration free band would be 11 meter cb radio :) i get around a 40-60 mile range with an antenna about 30 feet up from the base :)

if you want, i could have set up a demo of 11 meter sstv and rtty data communications between me and a friend :)

yeah man, that's the stuff. that sounds perfect for what I'm imagining. some kind of low bandwidth high range option for when/if stuff seriously hits the fan. it can mesh into the wifi stuff.

yea, i figure sstv and rtty could be used by cb radio and pirate ham radio operators to transmit data farther out if theres a big gap between local meshnets
