Wireless Mesh

Sun came up and so did the Solar MeshAP

Well I'm reporting that the Sun did come up today in Toronto and my MeshAP also worked for a while. It looks like I had 3 hours of solid connectivity. In the afternoon we did have some clouds and sure enough the unit went down again.

I will verify that everything is working properly. On Saturday I will shut the solar panel down and recharge the battery fully.

This experiment of continuous power from using a solar panels and charging a single battery is a myth. Even though I'm using lower power motherboards and power supply the drain on the battery is way too much for this unit to handle.
