[OpenWireless Tech] "Open-mesh"

[Eugene Smiley]

I didn't say *only*, but it's an assumption that the average consumer is
not going to say "Oh, I need to pay for a new piece of equipment? Ok." It
will be more like, "But I have this perfectly working device right here.
Why do I need yours?"

The Users page (https://openwireless.org/#/users) links to instructions for
a few routers that can already provide open guest access.
