[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Fwd: GL-AR150 routers

[Ian]

On a tip from Joe KT3I, I got a GL.iNet GL-AR150-Ext mini router from
Amazon for about $25.  It's half the size of a deck of cards and is a very
capable device.  There are nightly builds at
https://www.arednmesh.org/content/nightly-builds but even if you don't make
it a 2.4 GHz AREDN mesh node there are 4 different Part 15 connection
methods including tethering to your cell phone, using it as a repeater for
an existing WiFi network, e.g., Starbucks or Panera, and distributing a USB
cellular modem device.  You can get them with or without an external
antenna, and with or without Power over Ethernet (PoE).  But do NOT use PoE
and USB power at the same time - you'll cook it.
