[Techtalk] wireless home network without router

[Alina Friedrichsen]

Hi Miriam,

what do you mean with mesh networks? Ad-Hoc, IBSS, OLSR, something like that? If you instead mean, that you want to build a normal AP with your computer, you should look at the hostapd. With the right wifi card (I recommend ath9k or ath5k chipsets) you can build a normal Wifi router with it. You only need knowledge about linux networking from the command line.

I hope I could help you.

Cheers,
Alina
