NodeJQM

4/9/08
Got another access point installed to create nodeKBF. Connected in using a basic Negear AP with a 5dbi omni through the a top story window. Seems reasonably stable but requires much more sensitive equipment to remain behind the glass window there.

15/8/08
New 200mW ultraWAP arrived and installed it. I've actually lost bandwidth between nodeJQN, but I suspect this is because the 12dbi Omni is too focused vertically and as a result of raising the antenna 4meters above the other roof, the actual signal arriving at nodeJQN is weaker.

9/8/08
Upgraded the TV mast to a 4mtr steel pole with three guide wires. The top of the 12Dbi omni now reaches roughly 5.2 meters above the roof. Unfortunately the RP-SMA pigtail broke in half when it fell out of the box. Will persue a new AP.

17/9/07
Finally installed a 12dbi omni antenna to the TV mast.

Moved to different location above shed, still needs work for permenant install.

13/12/06 - Main router / gateway
Installed router running ClarkConnect 4.0. Provides DHCP and VPN access for private use.

11/12/06 - Added entries for melbourne wireless
Added two nodes to melbourne wireless database, JQM and JQN.

10/12/06 - Installed more permanent hardware
Placed the hardware on the roof in a more permanent manor. Still needs work.

25/11/06 - First Entry
Put the stuff on the roof! Very basic setup with very small, 2dbi antenna. Bridged to node JQN with exactly the same AP. Tested with LOS and established a 8Mbit link - stable over several hours. Removed hardware after testing.
