Need Internet on the go? Grab some 22" rims and get online.
If you don't have a pimped out ride or the chicks, this is where this instructable comes in. =)
The concept:
wireless router + wheels - wallplug= myspace everywhere!
Here is the wireless router I used and deconstructed: Wireless Deconstruction
Now this is the result of the reconstruction! But it is not completely finished, I still need to mess with the firmware. As of now the product is jus a physical manifestation of the idea of mobile network.
There is also a similar project, WiFi.Bedouin, worth looking by Julian Bleecher. It utilizes network as art, so without cluttering too much room, here is the link: WiFi.Bedouin
So there are two parts to this.... the wagon that houses all the electronics and the electronics themselves.
I chose wood as the medium for the wagon because it is easier to assemble, compared to, say, aluminium or whatever.
As for the router... any idiot can make it run on a 12 volt battery, but to really utilize it in a way that it can receive and boost wireless internet signals, then you will have to go into the firmware. Right now this is an instructable more about the assembly of the project. If you can make it work, drop some comments!

There are two sections to the project. First we go into the building of the wagon on wheels that houses the electronics and the other is hooking up the actual electronics.
First the supplies for the wagon I used are:
A piece of plywood (for the platform of the chassis), an axle (wood/copper whatever you can work with), a plank of wood that I used to work with for the miscellaneous parts of the wagon, four lawnmower wheels, some wood screws, and hooks (to anchor the rubberbands).
Some of the tools that made things work:
drill, bits, handsaw, straightedge, measuring tape, and of course a pencil.
The electronics:
12volt battery, inverter, wireless router, and maybe a battery charger
I've got a Netgear WGU624, a 400watt inverter bought from Best Buy, and the 12 volt battery from Fry's
Now on to the wagon making...
Or if u already have a wagon, go on to connecting your router!
