Note: To build a DIY mesh node, follow our Node Setup guide.
Mass Mesh is a high-tech social club building community-owned mesh networks throughout Boston. These networks enable home Internet access that is fairer, more secure, and more locally resilient than traditional cable. The purpose of this wiki is to provide you with all of the information you need to join the mesh by setting up your own mesh node. All of the information on this site and all of the code in our software is free to use share and edit. Please get in touch if you are interested in contributing.
Note: In the Boston-area? Help build out a network! Checkout Mesh Boston Network or sign up to help at meshboston.net.
