MassMesh is a volunteer-run grassroots project that aims to create community-owned wireless networks. These networks enable low cost, secure, censorship-resilient home Internet access. The purpose of this wiki is to provide you with all of the information you need to set up your own custom router and join the mesh.

Making positive change requires solidarity, so please consider joining us at one of our weekly meetings! Whether you are interested in installing a mesh node, joining our team of volunteers, requesting a demonstration, or even just having a conversation about mesh networks, we want to hear from you.

We have provided all of the information on this site for free because we care about the well-being of all of our communities.
