Abstract

Nowadays, city-wide wireless mesh networks are a promising technology for offering ubiquitous Internet connectivity. These multi-hop wireless access networks consist of fixed and mobile nodes, which help each other relaying packets toward Internet gateways and back. The objectives of this project are t develop the best wireless mesh network that has a bigger coverage area using the Linksys router WRT310N. Next, the project need to be setup with 3 flashed 2.4 GHz wireless LinksysWRT310N routers with different location. The location of Router A at FKEKK building, Router B at Outdoor shed and Router C at Café 1 between FKEKK and FKE faculty. Every router need to be measure using 1 wired LAN server connected to wireless router and 1 wireless client has 10 points in range about 1 to 20 meter of distance from router. The performance must consider the location of the wireless routers. Location of every wireless router must be stable and less interferences before the measurement can be run. Furthermore, location being chose in this project were the best of stability connection of routers and less interference. Finally, when completing this project, the finding of the extending coverage area of the Wireless Mesh Network using Linksys Router WRT310N can be varied depends on the interferences in the outdoor test bed area.
