Broadband Hamnet is a 2.4 GHz mesh network that is not compatible technology wise with HamWAN. We like to say that HamWAN is good as the backbone, providing wide area connectivity, and Broadband Hamnet/Mesh is an option for more localized distribution that can be connected to the LAN end of a HamWAN client node.<br><br>Nigel<br><br>> On Aug 27, 2016, at 19:30, Colin Kincaid Williams <discord@uw.edu> wrote:<br>> <br>> That's a pretty common old hackable router, but I don't know how well<br>> it works with the HamWAN.
