The invisible Ubiquiti bullet 2hp

I had some time over the New year weekend to play with my ubiquiti bullet 2hp. I have had this for a while but have not had time to play with it. I wish I had played with it sooner, it is great! This is a nicely built piece of equipment. I used a POE adapter like I use on the WRT54G and a 12db omni antenna. It preformed nice. It showed up strong on my inssider wifi software. The best thing I liked about the bullet was the slide band capabilities. I was using the stock firmware and it has the capability of changing the center frequency to one not used by traditional routers. This gave me an invisible radio, if you can't see it you would not even try to hack it! When I switched it over to an odd frequency it just diapered from my wifi software screen. Maybe with some good mesh software we could setup a mesh network that would be invisible to everyone else. My next project is to find and test some software that will give the bullet mesh capabilities.

  1. If you want mesh software, check out http://www.open-mesh.com/

    Im not affiliated with them at all, just a new user, playing around with Mesh networks and they say they can use the Ubiquity Bullets also. Im gonna have to grab one and try it out too.

    Thanks for the input. I have been looking at the open-mesh. It may be more than I am looking for but will continue my research on it.

  3. I am thinking of getting into mesh.Some of my friends are after me to start.
    I come from the packet days..So I am thinking this might be the way to go.
    Was wondering if there is any telnet gateways to ham radio mesh networks.
    That would be very interesting...
