Location
Although not currently functional, I'll be linking directly to KFI, which brings me one hop away from the Geelong -> Melbourne link, JEE.Node Log
Equipment
I have gone for a very affordable approach to connecting to Melbourne Wireless. I purchased the following equipment to connect to the network:
- Linksys WRT54G v2.0
- Purchased off eBay, $32 plus $20 shipping from U.S.A. If you're planning on doing the same, be careful of the power adapter as most of them are 120V only.
- 16dBi Yagi antenna
- Purchased off eBay, $8.99 plus $16.99 shipping from China. Seems okay for the moment...but you get what you pay for
- SMA Female -> TNC Male for Linksys WRT54G
- Purchased off eBay, $2.99 plus $2.00 shipping. You will need one of these if you plan on connecting a cheapie antenna, as the WRT54G uses a TNC plug.
