I live at the semi bottom of a small hill in my neighborhood.

I don't feel it would be practical to put up several directional antennas to encompass the area for receiving aredn signals but putting up a directional dish pointing to a aredn mesh located in another city to foward traffic from my area would
does anyone know if these omni directional mikrotik units would work for the purpose of receiving signals

they both appear to be routeros systems so i am not sure if they are usable.

On a separate note has anyone tried using any of the cheap chinese clones to tp link or the mikrotik hardware?

"encompass the area for receiving aredn signals"
Hi, Stephen:
Are there sufficient AREDN stations in your neighborhood to indicate omnidirectional coverage is practical?
I see perhaps 1 AREDN station within 7 miles, 1 at 0.5 miles, kg6mdw.
How big is your 'AREDN neighborhood' from the bottom of your hill?
There is a hilltop AREDN switch West of your location that might work as a link.
