Typical speeds are 10 to 100+ Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/aredmesh.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network<\/a> maintains the firmware that is flashed into certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arednmesh.org\/content\/supported-platform-matrix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">indoor and commercial outdoor Wi-Fi Routers<\/a>.This AREDN firmware permits using Ham Radio frequencies adjacent to the standard 802.11n channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This AREDN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arednmesh.org\/content\/current-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">firmware<\/a> supports automatic adaptive ad-hoc PtP, PtMP, and mesh-style networking. Mesh-style networking is capable of working within a similar distanced and similar profiled network of nodes. Our local group has dissimilar profiled nodes and we have rolling terrain and tall trees which renders a pure mesh-style-technology impractical. Much of our network is utilizing PtP or PtMP links rather than the often assumed pure-mesh network of putting every node on the same frequency and assuming that the AREDN firmware <em><strong>will automagically figure it out<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please do not buy a 2.4 GHz device and then contact usabout connecting to our high speed multi-media network.
