At the moment PEWUG does not have a highsite in Summerstrand. Basically what is needed is: A suitable location for a highsite and the necessary equipment. Typically a highsite is funded by those will use it - the WUG is a community effort after all. If all interested parties could register their interest in this thread we could perhaps start to make some headway with this... devillj on "To All Prospective new users" http://www.pewifi.co.za/forums/topic/to-all-prospective-new-users#post-610 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:59:30 +0000 devillj 610@http://www.pewifi.co.za/forums/ The wifi equipment we use is called Routerboard's and they run the Mikrotik Routerboard Operating system. The routerboards have a facility called NSTREME that employes some software trickery to clean up the signal and make an adequate signal more usable. We have turned this facility on, on almost all our towers. This means to following : You cannot connect to our towers with anything other than a routerboard, or a pc running routeros. You MUST have nstreme enabled to connect. This means youre notebook, Nano's, bullets, and other non RB CPE's will not be able to connect. You can Buy Roterboards from Digital Dynamix at 501 Cape Road.

Two questions. 1. I see in the forums that you require a MicroTik Router Board. Does this mean that the Nanostation5 will not work. 2. Are the towers operating on the 5.8ghz band yet? I would be connecting to the Theescombe Tower as it is less than 3km away.

I've got a backup hub running on my server, this is till Ocean gets back and restores his one. I think it might be a good idea to always have a spare one anyway, so unless someone else wants to, I shall leave mine running all the time - it utilizes almost no CPU anyway so I don't mind. It can be connected to on: 172.21.3.90:1088 Password is the same as Oceans for simplicity's sake. Note the port number.. it's not the default for a DC hub..

We are in the process of negotiating prices with a supplier for CPE units. We are hopefully going to get these in at about R1k. I will keep you posted as to the progress on this... For those that would like to use their current equipment, we are going to be running the access points on 2.4Ghz so I would recomend making your purchaces or choices accordingly. The main network will be running on Routerboards using RouteOS from Mikrotik. The are stable and cost efective. For the local supplier contact Craig at Digital Dynamix on 041 3609589. For those who would like to recomend some other hardware/software please post away... oceanmaster on "LINTON / GRANT LINK" http://www.pewifi.co.za/forums/topic/linton-grant-link#post-396 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:03:27 +0000 oceanmaster 396@http://www.pewifi.co.za/forums/ Grant is has dug the hole for his tower but is still weding and planning his tower. Seems it will take a bit longer then expected (perhaps an extra week longer as he is working on a pivoting pole which requires additional welding and working on). He has suggested that if we are urgent for the link we can temporarily put up the two grids, box and omni on his current pole. I suggest we wait the extra week till his propper pole is up as two weeks from now is not such a long time and we can continue to add guys to each tower. Today dewald completed his bracket, pole and link to the Theesecombe tower which is expected to turned on this coming week. Delays are due to an enclosure we have been waiting for which was first the wrong size and now on the way..
