Richmond Free WiFi Blog

We are thrilled to announce the release of our fourth access location, located around the near the Lamplighter and Chippendale intersection on the Southside. Special thanks to JT Allison for generously donating a portion of his high-speed Internet connection.

FYI, this is JT’s SECOND Meraki unit and is our first mesh link, highlighting the expandability of our network by adding additional units without the need for additional Internet connections.

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: O-O-Chippendale_Lamplighter-002

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.
