Just ordered mine a few days ago. Are Class 10 Micro SDXC cards fast enough, or is there any benefit to using UHS-I? So you're able to use a single zSUN to connect to your router, then create an access point? Nice.by Mediastinum - PirateBoxes on OpenWrt - unsupported
That's good to hear! Are you going to flash Chaos Calmer via Firmware Update? Thinking of using a solar-powered charger for this, but I have no idea on what the power draw will be.by Mediastinum - PirateBoxes on OpenWrt - unsupported
There is no official Piratebox support yet, but I've found what looks to be the smallest OpenWRT router! The tiny zSun WiFi Card Reader has been hacked into a native OpenWRT router, allowing what looks to be the most concealable Piratebox.

Thank you, and good to know that the hunt for a great Piratebox/Node hardware is on!by Mediastinum - PirateBox OpenWrt
Look guys! This WRT Node looks like a much better option if converted to a Piratebox.

Hi there, I agree that the CPU can be a source of slowdown in the Mesh Network. This is not yet the best device to fix into a wall then. The micro USB power needed to support continuous WiFi is only 5V 200ma. So maybe, 2 small solar panels can be used? I was hoping though if the "chip only" version can be soldered to a microSD instead of a USB for a more compact space. Microby Mediastinum - PirateBox OpenWrt
I was looking around for an even smaller OpenWRT router than the MR-3020 and came across this item. Vo-Core - A coin-sized Linux computer with wifi Measuring 25mm x 25mm, this device is the smallest device that can possibly host our files in a Piratebox! [*] Runs OpenWRT on top of Linux [*] 8Mb SPI Flash [*] RT 5350 @ 360Mhz MIPS [*] USB slot, and MicroUSB for Power Yes, it'sby Mediastinum - PirateBox OpenWrt
I like where this is heading. More power to the Open source! Can you guys upload some working betas when you've resolved the module issues? Thank you!by Mediastinum - Mods and Themes
Alright! Thanks so much. Question though is whether the 8Mb Flash is of any great use, or is it just not large enough to take notice? I do have a PB setup on a MR13u (4Mb) so I'm wondering if this upgrade can significantly open up more opportunities.by Mediastinum - PirateBox OpenWrt
While browsing for potential Piratebox hardware, I stumbled across the Hame MPR-A2. Seems like a small, promising router. - Portable 5200mAh powered wireless 3g router - CPU 360mHz - 8Gb Flash - 32Mb RAM - OpenWRT support Here's the link to their OpenWRT Wiki Is this as viable as it looks?by Mediastinum - PirateBox OpenWrt
This might help you with your antenna problem.by Mediastinum - PirateBox (General)
How about using a MR13u? I heard the 2A USB port can support the power hungry 2Tb HDDs. Any feedback on these?by Mediastinum - PirateBox (General)
Thank you! I did get that part about setting up and installing the Ices and Icecast on the USB of the PB. My mistake probably was in thinking that we needed an Icecast-specific program (like a codec) installed on the client's device first before getting the media player to listen/control the playlist. Guess I'm really just new to internet radio hosting in general, hence the questiby Mediastinum - Mods and Themes
Hi! Can anyone be kind enough to explain or make a video demonstrating how this works? Really interested in this. Are the Ices and IceGenerator also installed into the PB? If so, wouldn't that make any connected client a DJ as well? Thank you.by Mediastinum - Mods and Themes
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but are there any updates on Piratebox working for MR13u? Can PB 1.0 install properly now?by Mediastinum - PirateBox OpenWrt
