[MLB-WIRELESS] Different modes?

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

Your best bet is to put the AP in normal Access Point mode.  I'd go with
something like a Minitar as these look like they have huge potential once
the geeks work out how to hack them.

Being in a prominent location I'd recommend turning off SSID broadcasts to
stop every man and his dog connecting and flooding the thing like the
berwick CB repeater, and also implement MAC restrictions.
This will help stop people connecting and using it for their own personal
links to trade pr0n and warez, rather than connecting to participate in the
community network.
