First, I'd like to extend the standard apology for not updating the project very often. I'd also like to thank everyone who is following and skulling the project, I'm glad you find this interesting. 

Now to the actual project:

On the hardware side, the router has arrived, in all its tiny glory. I would put a picture inline, but the button seems to disagree with the computer. I also built a proof of concept circuit for the power system, and the batteries I have power the router through a 7405 well, although I should add a current-limiting resistor.

On the software side, I flashed OpenWRT. It works well, although I have no idea how to use it, and there are absolutely no guides that attempt to explain it from the beginning anywhere that I can find. However, I do have both WiFi interfaces working, and a very thorough understanding of the fail-safe function.

In the mean time, happy hacking
