[@aidanc4719]

One interesting thing that was glanced over a bit: Internet doesn't mean wireless! While it's impractical on any large scale to wire a connection to many people, this video seems to mainly be discussing local scale internet anyway. You can eliminate many of the roadblocks which these systems encounter (and albeit introduce a few new ones), while also making your connection faster and more stable just by using wires instead of wireless. I fact, if you have numerous cell phone devices, you can connect them all to a computer and enable data sharing via usb. This super simple 'plug and play' option can essentially turn the desktop (or other non-mobile os system) into a server. You can load data from one phone to the computer, and then the computer to the phone. This is the same concept as the internet, and can be done without installing any extra software (at least for windows users, Idk about mac/linux).

[@ZeroGDucks]

My original idea back in college was to hoard routers, pass them among my neighbors in emergency events, get apache or ftp installed on whatever computers needed it, then get the routers connected to eachother. Thing is, I'm not sure how I would work out inter-router things. And even if I could.... everyone in my neighborhood is older than dinosaur poop :/

You would only need lots of Routers, Switches, Cables, WiFi Sticks Servers and Clients. In some way, if you disconnect your ISP router from the Internet, you have your own "internet". Get your neighbors to share it with you, host some websites, and it works.

Great tutorial! In Hungary, at us, government wanted to implement tax on the internet. If that had happened I would have wanted to create a kind of new internet with my friends or something. Or before I got my first smartphone, I looked for tutorials how can I share internet connection via Bluetooth. I ended up writing two J2ME apps to send source code to my previous phone.

I need help. Listen to my idea. How about if I use my old windows computer as a backbone.

I join this “server” (so to say) with other devices to make a new internet at my house for me and my families use. Would this work? Would it create an internet network that I wouldn’t have to pay a company to use? And will it work like any other connection allowing me to log on to all the websites I use?

Why not just do this: 1. Take some routers and turn them all except one into network repeaters 2. Now connect some repeaters to that 3. Now connect some repeaters to each of them 4. Repeat step 3 until it fits you P.S This will not make your own internet, but an intranet

So basically to even get it started you still need an ISP provider. Without a base device having internet access, you cannot create a mesh network. If I am wrong in this, please explain because I still confused as to how you just start from scratch without needing an ISP provider. In Cuba they use mesh networks to communicate, but someone (a base person/device/or starting point/origin) has access to internet. Thank you for the video.
