Now Part of Meraki's Free the Net SF

I’ve just received my free Meraki Mini, and put it in my win­dow. Now my neigh­bors should be able to see the “Free the Net” sig­nal, and hope­fully we can get some momen­tum to spread the net­work to this part of SF!

Your San Francisco neigh­bors are build­ing a free wire­less net­work, and you can be a part of it! With a Meraki repeater, you can con­nect to the net­work, expand its reach, and pro­vide access to others.

Right now, we’re giv­ing Meraki Mini repeaters away to SF res­i­dents who can see the Free the Net sig­nal, and the net­work will always be free.

Our net­work is grow­ing at a healthy rate, with new com­mu­ni­ties light­ing up each month. Even if Free the Net hasn’t made it to your neigh­bor­hood yet, we’ll be there soon, and we’d like to let you know when we arrive!

So far, every­thing was incred­i­bly sim­ple. I just plugged it in, and it worked. (Of course, I did a lit­tle QoS work on my router, just in case’s Meraki’s rate lim­it­ing wasn’t good enough — I really don’t want to have vis­i­tors max­ing out my upstream band­width and con­se­quently tak­ing out my VoIP ser­vice.) I’m not yet on Meraki’s map, but hope­fully I will be soon. Perhaps even­tu­ally we can get some Meraki-​​provided DSL lines around here too…
