Please go for open-mesh.com! 

- It is very simple (no configuration required!)
- much more flexible, cause it can bring (Internet-)Access to places many hops beyond the Internet uplink by meshing.
- Since the latest release is very stabile and solid. I did not have any trouble ever since the last firmware release. 
- It is the result of years of research and development to support projects like yours the best way possible. 
- It is all Free and Open Source Software.
- It is easy to maintain and administrate by a web-based dashboard.
- It is driven by people with the heart in the right place ;-)  

Just my 2 cents.
