[wirelesstoronto-discuss] mesh tests

[jr]

i'm up for doing this on  tues instead when gabe is available to documention
he wants. =)

some of my objectives are to get familiar with the hardware and evaluate if
it is a viable solution.
testing: distance. speed and reliability. set-up/flashing process. issues
passing thru to wifidog auth. etc.

I suspect that open-mesh will be the inevitable solution for WT but testing
meraki can't hurt/

so how's that? Gabe, Nicholas, David and Jason thus far?
