[wsfii-discuss] help choosing between open-mesh and fonera

Also I think La Fonera does NOT scale to a mesh...

You need something like openmesh, or OpenWRT type of firmware.

I have no experience with open-mesh but heard good things ;-)

Make sure you use good routers for the intallation...
Fonera routers are weak for this porpose and i would suggest a double
interface router...
