Anybody use a mesh network in Puna?

I dont quite understand why you would want to setup a mesh network. are you sharing it with neighbors and want to mesh your connection with theirs or are you talking about putting another wifi router in your back yard to extend your signal there?
If your talking the secondary, you can always get a ubiquiti outdoor wireless unit. They take their power over the ethernet cable and are rain tolerant. Im pretty sure amazon has them.
