You are standing beneath Noisebridge's network rack on the wall in the Hackitorium.

You see a "Noisebridge has an open WiFi network" sign.

EXITS: Hackitorium, Roll up door

The open WiFi networks are free to all at Noisebridge. In most cases if you connect to the network Noisebridge your laptop/phone/device will have the best luck getting crystal clear wifi and roam between radio channels according to which provides the most reliable and fastest connection.

Free Public Wireless Networks

The WiFi and Internet provided is for public use. Like any public network, you should regard Noisebridge's as potentially hostile and take appropriate precautions. In order to not give the impression of providing false security, Noisebridge does not run any encrypted wifi networks.

The following wireless networks (SSIDs) are active:

  • Noisebridge Cap
    • No password
    • 802.11g/n/ac 2.4 and 5 gHz
    • This is a temporary SSID set up for use during the move until the long term equipment is set up.

If you're reading this from another point in time, please note that the reality of the situation may be different. Please update this page to reflect reality as it changes.

Network Devices & Services


Uplinks

Monkeybrains Wireless Link

We have a point-to-point wireless link to Monkeybrains on the roof, it's a microwave dish on the roof at the front of the building.

I want to help!

Noisebridge is run by volunteers, you're welcome to help but should get to know those helping first before touching/hacking the network gear. Try introducing yourself on the #rack channel in the Noisebridge Slack.

Router

Biketrailer is our humble router. It is an Ubiquiti Edgerouter (ER-4) box running EdgeOS, a fork of Vyatta (a Linux-based router distribution).

The machines currently provides

  * NAT
  * DHCPD
  * DNS (dnsmasq) - local TLD and recursive proxy

Access is via SSH with keys and a https web interface.

Access the router UI over https at 10.21.0.1.

Machine Rack

The rack layout, subject to change

There are two racks in the space, the main one on the first floor near the rolling door, and the secondary one on the second floor directly above the main one. They are small and up high to discourage people from messing with them or installing things in them. The internet works, please leave the boxes alone.

Can I install/setup boxes on Noisebridge's network?

Short answer

No.

Long answer

See Rack.
