Picostation users?

Curious if anyone is using the PicoStation in their deployments?

Hi Darryl,

Hi Darryl,

Yes I have several PicoStations in operation. They make a very nice high power unit along with my laptop as a portable system.

I live in a home surrounded

I live in a home surrounded on 3 sides by houses and tall trees and on 2 sides by 200' hills with buildings on them. The nearest burgeoning mesh network is 23 miles away. According to Air Link I could have a link if I had a 300' tower which isn't going to happen. The primary driver of that mesh group wishes to make a tunnel. I thought I might install something small like a 2.4 GHz Picostation, Nanobridge, or Nanostation for him to tunnel to. Any recommendations? There is no likelihood that a multiple node mesh will develop near my home.

Easy Question...

I would purchase an AirRouter HP for about $65. We just added support for it in the latest beta release. It acts similar to the old Linksys WRT54G but it runs 600mW RF output... and it even has a removable antenna (RP-SMA) We've configured the switch to support WAN (including tunnel), DtD-linking to another node, and 3-ports for local LAN devices.

I have one sitting on my home-office desk and it connects to a node I have on high-ground, over 3 miles away!

Bought one, on the way.

Bought one, on the way.

Got a question though; will it allow me to be only a tunnel server or a client, a tunnel server & a client, or both at the same time (more than one tunnel)?

I purchased one and wanted to

I purchased an AR-HP and wanted to know when 3.16 will likely be released or can I do the beta version?

AR-HP works fine with 2016 beta01

I've configured 2 ARHP units and they work fine. I've installed hamchat and tunnel client. We're getting ready to test the tunnel client now.

AR-HP Tunnel Client - OK

Just tested the tunnel client on the Air Router and it seems to work just fine.

I wouldn't hesitate to use

I wouldn't hesitate to use the beta version. As a member of the dev team I've been using it since before it came out in beta. It's a great product.
