Please provide links and info on how-to. Thanks.
And each one (if serving a significant client base sufficiently threatening to the regime) is a perfect target for anti-radiation weapons. Even if not worth a missile, it would draw attention from military ground operations real quickly.
How to turn an old Wi-Fi router into an access point
https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-turn-an-old-wi-fi-router-into-an-access-point/
I’ve done this type of thing before. Put the router as a Access point on top of 25’ telephone pole at my show, with homebrew wifi feedhorn antenna I could access it from 4 miles away with standard Wifi card in laptop. My access point was connected to the web, but it could just as easily be an old computer running as a server without the web. I used commercial 6db collinear antenna, but you can homebrew them with soldered together pieces of coax in fiberglass tube or just sealed and hung from stick or tree on the top.
Will try an find one of the old articles that showed exactly where and how to attach the N-connector for the antenna.
Hand held VHF/UHF transceivers can be used to use things like packet radio. The bandpass will not handle high bandwidth data but slower it will.
It seems someone does not like our discussion. Had computer glitches 2 times.
Here is the idea on programming, the setup.

I took an old linksys router and made a connection to the RF output through an N connector to outside. Put the router/accesspoint in a weatherproof box on top of telephone pole. ran cat 5 up pole and power up pole to operate it.
It is easy to build a feedhorn antenna from 18” piece of 4” diameter aluminum irrigation pipe with plate welded on the end. Place 1/4 wave stub antenna 1/4 wave length in front of the end plate (I’ll have to refresh my memory for exact distance) but diameter of the 1/4 wave sub affects the length to resonance.
Point I’m trying to make, it is possible to circumvent the system.
If you are truly DHS, there is nothing illegal about what I just said.
There are people in the public in Venezuela who are smart enough to do this without help.
