Helderberg Wireless Network (Somerset West, Strand, Gordons Bay)

[Overmind]

I've been running my own WLAN for almost 2 years now.

I now read about this interesting JAWUG network. Maybe we can get this started in other areas? Any users in the Helderberg area (Somerset West, Strand, Gordons Bay) that will be willing to start a Wireless Community Network?

I am in strand and will like to know more, i have wifi

[Overmind]

Do you have a router or access point? I am also in Strand. Maybe we should start with Point-to-point connection.

I stay in Somerset West , on the mountain side (unf not los to strand or sw :-/) and am ver interested in setting up a mesh ...

[Overmind]

stormwalkerza you will need someone on top of the mountain.

Contact a company called Uniterm in Durbanville their coverage is huge and they rent space on their highsites for a good price.

Is there any news on your wireless network for Somerset West, like to join any wireless network

[daevor]

I am in Gordon's Bay and will (hopefully) be getting my wireless connection through snowball soon.


I'd keen on connecting to any community network in strand / gordon's bay.

Anyone have info on this?

Up on Western side of Helderberg overlooking Cape Point and Cape Town, WLAN's been up and running for some time...

We offer WLAN 2.4 Ghz outdoor antennas & equipment. No we're not a retail computer shop, but you can get the goodies from us on order if you need it.

Drop in at http://www.itworx.co.za/networking.htm for Omni's, Yagi's Sector and Flat Panel antennas.

Got a home based estate agent just round the corner running a
13dBi Flat Panel & 11Mbps Bridge / AP pointing toward Verkykerskop.

Express your freedom...go wireless

Me in strand...
Have wireless equipment from snowball WISP.


How would it work?

am in the false bay area any1 close to me...

Strand, close to the pavilion, can mroe than likely also arrange APs ontop of the pavilion

[daysleeper]

Lets setup a dc++ network, if you take the pavillion as the center point, I'm sure there are enough people to chip in for expenses. I have super los to pavillion, and DEF is about 2KM away, DEAVOR should also not have a problem, he is just down the road from me, and SAVAGE you are right there.

[daevor]

Who like to drive this process? daysleeper?
I would but I simply don't have the know-how.

Regards,

It would require facing the antenna towards the central point hay? But, mine is facing the mountain to get my WISP still! (still active)

Savage= works for Cenergy networks?
They have a wireless network in the Strand for the corporates already it seems...

My AP is in bridge mode = to change it I have to go on the roof & change the mode of the AP to client mode to find other AP's right?
