[aklug] Re: Guest internet devices

I am not certain, but I believe I had a client with one of these in WA, but
it was about 10 years ago, so who knows what it was then or is now.
However, the Open-Mesh devices are dead simple... and they are well suited
for this kind of application. They are indeed proprietary... but super
simple to use. I like them because I don't have to maintain a controller
server somewhere for these devices to check-in to. So I sacrifice
convenience over control in this case.
