Is There a Cheaper Way to Set Up a Mesh Network?

There are a couple alternatives for mesh networking and they vary in price. One is probably more involved than the others because you have to set it up, but it's also about the most affordable way that you can set up a mesh network. And these will go several miles, a line of sight, as long as you don't have anything obstructing your signal. The other thing too that's really nice about this, I think it's going to be very important in the future, is it also incorporates AES-256 encryption.
