K. I. S. S. I. N. G.

I always hated when kids used to say that to me….

Anyway, today I decided to take an old linksys wireless router and see if I could leach off the public library as the signal to my house was so faint that usually one could not login to the public hotspot provided by them. I soon was able to do just that.

For those of you that may have missed it please see part one of the Solar Powered DIY HotSpot.

I recently built another one of these little units that can be taken literally anywhere. By mounting the entire setup into a portable backpack this can be taken anywhere and not stand out so much. Well, maybe;-)

Ever wondered what it would be like to have your own hotspot no matter where you went? Well now you can with this portable solar powered Wi-Fi repeater.

Solor powered wifi is the best of all worlds. The biggest challenge for people in developing countries is power. Electricity is hard to come by and most of the time simply not available at any cost.

ClimateLab has deleloped what they call a “solar node” that uses solar PV panels to create the energy needed to charge batteries, that in turn run a wireless router so that many people are able to get online at once.
