@howtophil @Luther @antijingoist @mos_8502 @lmorchard @vkc we definitely see these things pop up now and then. in our view what keeps them from really sticking around is that... they're made by technical people whose focus is just building it.

@drwho @ireneista @Luther @antijingoist @mos_8502 @lmorchard @vkc I think a raspi can be configured to be a hotspot with multiple USB wifi sticks too...  @howtophil @ireneista @Luther @antijingoist @mos_8502 @lmorchard @vkc It can. As to how reliable it will be, it depends on the hardware rev, cooling, and traffic volume. |
@ireneista @howtophil @Luther @antijingoist @mos_8502 @lmorchard @vkc There's a bigger problem: Consumer Wi-Fi chipsets are not designed for that kind of thing. Not all of them support ad-hoc mode, AP mode, or 802.11s. They tend to lock up or reset after varying periods of time.
Broadcom is Broadcom.
The ideal hardware would be a wireless router with the memory of a raspi.
