Official launch was today. The wifi coverage is quite good, but the signal strength drops off quickly outside the shed. Even nearby, the devices I checked with showed just one or two bars. This isn't a problem in practice, but it looks bad. Putting a new antenna on might help. Or a more powerful router.

At Noel's insistence, I changed the SSID to "[wt] Dawes Crossing."

Gabe installed this node today. It's a caseless WRT54G in a lockable outdoor enclosure, inside the utility shed in the park. The DSL modem is in 'router' mode, so the wifi router gets a DHCP IP. The shed is locked (and we don't have a key), and the enclosure is locked (Gabe has the key). There's a bunch of power equipment in the shed, and one device that goes online. It's plugged into the wifi router's Ethernet, and I've whitelisted its MAC address (00:1d:c0:60:58:25) in /etc/wifidog.conf.
