You have a working node. If you're close enough to another node - done. To increase range may take some effort in regards to antennas and feed-lines - as it does in anything else 'radio'.

There is another, more advance project called 'HamWAN' - but it requires the use of specialized equipment. [https://www.hamwan.org/t/tiki-index.php Read about it here.]

HSMM-MESH project assumes you already have a good understanding of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP TCP/IP] networking. Toss in a bit of self discovering/configuring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_network mesh] and enjoy!

This page is JUST beginning! Not much here - yet. For now, best info is the [http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/ hsmm-mesh.org] web site.
