Wireless Hardware
IF you are a ham radio operator and you use Wifi around your house.
If you want to know what could be Done to modify router or AP in order to broadcast on the 13cm band...

Here is how HSMM setsup a mesh net with WRT54g's.
HSMM Set UP
~WRT-54g/WAP-54g~
I experimented and once owend 3, units, 3 years before is was licenced. Seen here stacked: a WRT-54g and WAP-54g were interlinked and sealed inside Tupperware there was only a power lead. The Box was left laying on my Roof wile I lived in Santa Maria,CA
I chose to use Ubiquiti hardware, for my point to point solutions.
~Ubiquiti~
Note: The Ubiquiti Bullet2hp, Nanostation M2, and Nanostation LOCO M2, will operate out of the box! with out firmware modifcations to broadcast upper sections of the 13cm band.

~ 2.3-2.7ghz Bullet hp2 in Configuration befor being placed on top of the QTH in west Berkeley, All so pictured a 2m/70cm EggBeater Antenna ~
2.3-2.7ghz Bullet hp2 (bottom) NanoStation M2 (middle). If you notice the yagi is pointed at UC Berkeley's Campanile, there is no station currently located at the other of that signal. (view to UCB pictured below)
Oh did i mention that I had upwords of 20+ clients on the Wifi signal with in the first 24hrs. I booted most of them off/ convenced them to not use my open wifi signal with a little speed limit!!! As well as limiting conections to a list of mac adresses for the main nanostation m2. The Bullet HP2 dose however provide an open acces point. Most of the people that live around me have there own internet, Ive noticed that when people first move in and befor they get there own I find them conected GOOD for them! SSID "Kj6DZB(A) Respect the Open Use" And they know Im a ham from converstion. Oh and for all those HACKERS... I dont do any thing interesting enfought other than provide an open internet conection.
Examples below showing how Ive successfully wifi networks with Ubiquiti Nanostations M2, Nanostations LocoM2, Bullet Hp2, Bullet HP M2. Wonderful Hardware once you understand it!!! and Pick the right antenna for the Bullet models(1 type N connector) I'm using the stock firmware because the HSMM-MESH never followd throu on integrating OLSR, I would LOVE to get olsr integrated into firmware for the M2 units. With MIMO B/G/N Nanostion M2 can potentially push 300mbps in the 2.312ghz to 2.732ghz range.
(Below) Hardware configurations, the configuration on the left is the system at my QTH.
