Richmond Free WiFi Blog

We are thrilled to announce the release of our third gateway, located around the perimeter of N. Pinehill Dr. on the Northside. Special thanks to Adam Bell for generously donating a portion of his high-speed Internet connection. This gateway will eventually be moved outdoors and be powered by a Power over Ethernet connection to serve an even larger area. Additional Meraki units may be added as “nodes” to help expand the mesh network throughout the neighborhood.

The following image shows real-time specs of the node’s uptime:

Node name: I-O-N_Pinehill_Dr-001

To access this node, simply point your wireless configuration to “RichmondFreeWireless”, open your web browser click the link on the splash page to continue and you’re on the web!

If you’d like to expand the network from this node or even set up a gateway with your connection to share throughout your neighborhood, feel free to check out our “help expand the network” page.
