Access AREDN on a Budget - MikroTik Setup and Demonstration

In this video, I give a brief introduction to AREDN, the amateur Radio Emergency Data Network, and we setup a cheap router, the MikroTik hAP ac lite RB952Ui-5ac2nD-US to get onto it. AREDN has always been a bit scary to me until I got this little router, and found out things aren't so complicated. If you are looking to getting into aredn this router is probably a perfect fir to get started.
