Not fibre I guess. You would need to broadcast wifi from your fibre connection through a router

Remember that the only way you can share using cable is only by using the cat5/6 which will restrict you to 100m; and any other device on their router other than the switch will be detected and blocked. I tried connecting my other Dlink router, which worked well for several days, then it got blocked. Ni wajanja na wanaelewa ujanja za majamaa…
Otherwise you may as well try out a repeater and see if it works…

I think DDWRT or PFSENSE based routers might have capabilities in that you can host more users efficiently.
PFSENSE is linux based os that you can install on a computer which has more than 2 network cards.
Edge lite router is also another option ,I have one with me if you are interested .

Corporate clients?

I think you can. I’ve seen some ‘suppliers’ huku mashinani who I think are resellers for faimba.

…Those jamaas… like Faiba literally take over ‘your’/their router, there’s nothing you can do… hata port forwarding lazima you tell them unatakia nini

I plan on getting ubiquiti loco m5 nanostation for point to point connect to CNET network. Just wondering wether anyone here has used the proprietary AirMax® connection that is utilised by the above mentioned radio.

I meant the ubiquiti loco m5 radio

@spear

The price is OK but why do all ISP only consider Eastlands or densely populated areas of Nairobi where all other ISP is serving the same pool of customers. Three months ago Safaricom came calling on my door asking if I would consider Vuma fibre if they lay the fibre in the whole area. I told them I will even volunteer to help with the work. Everyone said yes and 2 weeks later the whole place is connected. I’m literary streaming and downloading books, documentaries and shows.
