Frank: There are no wireless cards in the desktops. The Meraki unit is
a $50 unit that I had left over from an attempt to convince our local
city government to move forward with a community initiative for low-cost
community wireless mesh network. It has one port that is supposed to
plug into Internet device (in this case, my DHCP/DSL device). If I use
it to extend reach of wireless cloud around home, I can impress
neighbors and possibly stir interest in mesh networking. Does that make
sense?
