While in Kutina we upgraded MeshPoint components with ones that have more internal flash memory for additional software packages for remote management. We also did a speed test and network range check.
Because of the architecture of Kutina assylum center and the layout of the buidling itself, there is poor network quality in some parts of the center. So we made plans with the center officials to expand the current wifi network by placing additional MeshPoint routers on different locations. We took photos of the place and talked to center beneficiaries to learn more about their needs and to better plan the position of new MeshPoint routers and further coverage of the network.
In Zagreb we updated the firmware (from OpenWrt to LEDE) on the existing MeshPoint router. We checked the network range and we did a speed test on central MeshPoint used in the main lounge area. While talking to center beneficiaries we found out that network quality is great and if there are any issues, they are almost always connected to network congestion caused mostly by huge file downloads and video streaming.
