Hmmm... So, the Freedombox needs to use external infrastructure such as an ethernet or WiFi router?
I was thinking WiFi would connect all neighbors together on a WiFi mesh able to simultaneously transmit / receive to other Freedomboxes directly without a hub / router. Sort of an ad hoc Internet. Is such a thing possible with WiFi? Best regards, Rick C.
