Your Wifi Router is put as close as possible to your external antenna which is placed outside usually on a pole pointing toward
your wifi neighbour. From your router you have an ethernet cable linking to your pc or hub.
On the ethernet cable you are able to run data and power, which solves the issue of running an additional cable for power to
your router, (See POE in terminology)
Having the router so close to the antenna minimises the loss you have for your wifi signal, the stronger the signal the better
your connection. The router is placed inside a water-proof enclosure to protect it against the elements
This is a typical installation picture.
| Backbone Node | The Core Team takes care of these, there are the big nodes! |
| Transit Node | The owner of the Transit Node takes care of his own uplink to the Backbone Node, and all the Basic Node users that are connected to him |
| Basic Node | The owner of the Basic Node takes care of his uplink to his Transit Node |
If something breaks, the Node must contact the Node Above him. ie: BasicNode owner calls his TransitNode owner. If its out of the TransitNode owners control, the TransitNode owner calls the Core Team.
