[Commotion-discuss] [Commotion-dev] seeking input - what additional routers should Commotion support?

[Ben West]

There are a handful of products now sold, similar in form factor to the
small TP-Link routers, with affinity to mesh networks.  They're all quite
OpenWRT friendly, so adding Commotion support could be as simple as adding
another target to the buildbot's runlist.

Mesh Potato v2

GL-iNet v1 (this just recently appeared)
http://www.gl-inet.com/w/?page_id=308&lang=en
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JL2AOXQ?ie=UTF8&seller=A364119SDJA4QG&sn=alzhao(8MB
flash)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JKFE0FW?ie=UTF8&seller=A364119SDJA4QG&sn=alzhao(16MB
flash)

There is also an upcoming product from Nubelium in Spain that looks near
identical to the Mesh Potato v2:

Likewise Serval's Mesh Extender device:

P.S. I have Attitude Adjustment running with USB on a TP-Link TL3420 v2,
too.  Still not doing anything useful with pivot root, tho.
