"Wi-Fi technology will remain accessible only to the techno-elite - until somebody makes it comprehensible and easy to use. Jon Anderson, a London-based inventor who provides free software and at-cost hardware through locustworld.com, is acutely aware of the problem: 'There has to be something simple,' he says. 'Something that "Joe PC" can use.'"

A software upgrade to the hardware MeshAP, still fitting within the same 32MB footprint. The MeshBox extends the MeshAP into a set-top box Internet Appliance and wireless mesh router!
Now the device can be a workstation too. Connect into remote windows terminal server installations, or another pc, browse the web, stream mp3 audio and mpeg video, connect to multiple peer to peer networks, chat on any instant message network and exchange files.
You can download the latest version from the downloads section (look in the CF images download for the latest release)
