Tad, HamWAN does have internet connectivity, but please be careful not to consider it a replacement for your commercial internet provider. Part 97 rules restrict usage of amateur radio frequencies, including for commercial usage or with encryption (HTTPS). Winlink would be a good use, there are a number of repeaters that have linking via HamWAN, there are several of our sites where we’ve installed streaming cameras for folks to watch. We very much intend HamWAN as a neutral network where you can run most any application you want as long as it stays clear of Part 97 rules and isn’t abusive. Nigel

I got all my equipment, I was going to use this for my winlink packet system for the IP, what else can I use HamWAN for? Can I use it to browse google? I don’t know what it’s limitations are, video streaming is that out of the question? I know these might seem like stupid questions but I’m just curious what all I will be able to do after I get up and going?
