The field tests that we did with 3 APs and 1 notebook:
It consist in placing one router A as a gateway, wich was leaning out from a window and was surrounded with trees in it's right side (towards Paraguay street).
Another router B was placed on the stairs that are located in the middle of the buolding of the Distrito Centro of Rosario Municipality, it was aproximaly 140 meters.
The connection between both routers was excellent, like it also was the direct connection with Sebastián Criado's notebook to the router that was a gateway.
Then another router C was placed at about 100 meters. The link between ther routers B and C was excellent. The mesh was formed, sense connecting with the notebook to the router C, it recibed an IP and could get out to the Internet.
Later, Seba went away from router C 180 meters. The connection to the mesh was very good.
After that, another test was made by placing routers A and b in the same places, but router C was placed out of the almost straight line of router A and was placed in a straight line from router B. At a distance of 40 meters. The mesh was form perfectly, it also was posible the connection to the Internet.
The distance between the router A and Seba's notebook in the first test was of more then 400 meters.
The result was highly positive. Sense besides forming the mesh network, the distance covered with the routers originals antennas was excellent.
