How can I get involved?
You too can help SydneyFreeNet grow by putting a Meraki Mini in your front window, balcony or rooftop.
If you have a broadband Internet connection, you can share (part of) your bandwidth, by having your Meraki set up as a internet gateway. If you don’t have a broadband Internet connection, you can still help out by extending the network if you can see the SydneyFreeNet wireless network signal, by setting up your Meraki as a repeater.
If you already provide free wireless Internet (that’s great!), you are welcome to join SydneyFreeNet by adding Meraki Minis to your existing access point(s). By combining our efforts, you’ll become part of a larger wireless network, improve the quality of service for your visitors and be helping to build a unified and robust wireless network.
If you are a business or property owner (cafe, bakery, restaurant, bar, laundromat, hotel, apartment complex, conference center, etc.), you can attract new customers that stay longer by providing them free internet access.
You can get one or more Merakis from the Meraki website. We don’t sell them.
Again, we are not affiliated with Meraki, and we don’t make any money selling them. We just like their technology, which is cheap and easy to set up and manage.
ok - so i’ve got a couple of merakis now, but how do we go about joining all of the disperate meraki networks i’ve seen around sydney into one common network, similar to the sf experience? any ideas? would love to see it happen…
