We finally got our hands on some open-mesh routers, the MR500 is an excellent piece of hardware which has many good reviews. It is managed through cloudtrax dashboard for setting the router and viewing network status, you can see all your hotspots (nodes), the number of users connected and bandwidth statistics. Hats off to the guys at open-mesh for providing great hardware and very clever dashboard.
