Pete the Gopher KeeperIn the Old Days (2003-2004), a guy in the US called Julian Bleecker developed a portable WiFi node called wifi.bedouin which he toted around in a backpack. I was enthralled! Imagine being able to do that! I felt I'd like to do the same but I had very little money, lived in the UK and wasn't at Uni. Even so, I had a go, and my version - "Billy Nomad/YARWAP" was born. YARWAP=Yet Another Roaming Wireless Access Point ☺️
I wrote it up as I went along and today rediscovered the PDF, which is available for you reading pleasure at https://petergarner.net/projects/YARWAP-The_Billy_Nomad_Project.pdf and Julian's is at https://nearfuturelaboratory.com/projects/en/wifi-bedouin/
I did actually take it outside a couple of times for testing, but in those days so few people had mobile devices that did WiFi, that it didn't really achieve its objective. Enjoy!
