The FreedomNode is a wireless router which acts as an intermediary between the "neighborhood-scale" mesh network and a "building-scale" WiFi network.

The scope of the FreedomNode will overlap with the FreedomBox in some situations, in which case some hardware might be able to fill both roles.

Possible Hardware

TP-Link TL-MR3020
TP-Link TL-MR3020
TP-Link TL-MR3020
TP-Link TL-WR703N

Not to be confused with the TL-WR702N, which has insufficient Flash and RAM for most firmware

Very small USB-powered travel router, intended to be used as WiFi hotspot for multiple devices and/or sharing a 3G USB dongle's internet connection. Not yet FCC approved for the US and thus not yet as readily available as the cheaper 702 model?

32MB RAM, 4MB Flash, 1x USB 2.0 Host port, 1x USB device port (for power), 1x Ethernet port, Atheros AR9331 chipset.
