5. What do we use for hardware We use different hardware one is the WRT54G linksys router. Can be found used for around $25.00 We don’t need a computer to be connected to mesh with other routers. You don’t need to be physically connected to the node to make changes. You can connect to any other node that is connected from your node.

6. What is HSMM-PI VPN HSMM-PI is HSMM for Raspberry PI. HSMM-PI VPN is VPN software What is a VPN Virtual Private Network Raspberry PI is a small $35.00 open source PC that has no extra peripherals. VPN is a Virtual tunnel that allows you to connect networks thru the WEB (in our case)

7. What does this mean? By creating a VPN this allows us to connect up HSMM networks that would not be able to be connected up using the Wireless mesh. This is done using $50.00 worth of parts on both sides of network and using the internet to connect up networks. Web Home Router
