[ale] Slightly OT: Mesh Network Strategy?

[jonhall80 at comcast.net]

My Mom&Pop(TM) were complete and total teetotalers their entire lives due to their Southern Presbyterian faith.   One time I heard them describing another couple who I knew might have a glass of wine at dinner once a week as "really fine people, but they drink...they are Methodists, you know...."

While alcohol was never allowed in the house one time they invited said couple over for Christmas dinner and my mother (knowing that I DID drink) asked me to help her make a "champagne punch".   So I went to the store, got all sorts of fruit juices and a couple bottles of sparkling wine and whipped up a large punch bowl of punch.   My mother came over for a glass, just to see how it tasted.   A short while brought another glass, then another.   By the end of the night Mom was sloshed.

I get about 60 Mbps over mine (200 Mbps on the same floor) which is only a 600 Mbps (marketing lie), which is more than sufficient for beer sales.  Slap in a wifi AP or router on the far end, if you like.
