F.A.Q.'s

To create a #dotdot network, purchase #dot's from the #dotdot website, and download the #dotdot app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
In repeater mode, turn on a first #dot, pair it with your router (= Box or any other internet access point for which you know the name (SSID) and password). Once done, turn on as many extra #dot's as you want, they will mesh with the first #dot by themselves as long as they are within range (50 to 75m in open space).
If you want to create an off-grid mesh WiFi network, just turn on your #dot's one after the other and they will mesh altogether.
In each case, you may then connect to the ​"#dotdot" WiFi network that is visible from your WiFi settings: the default password is "dotdot2021", but you may change it from the app.

Yes, if you're more of a "#doter" and want to share your unused Gigabytes of internet access.
No if you're "#dotee" and want unrestricted access to the Internet via the #dotdot network, on demand.

First, only the #doter needs a #dot to share their GBs: a #dotee doesn't need one. They just need to spot a "#dotdot" WiFi from their WiFi settings.
For a #doter, using the #dot offers several unique advantages:

• Anonymity of sharing and transactions: while many users are interested in sharing their GBs of Internet access, few want to do so face-to-face. Sharing one's hotspot connection requires one to communicate the password of their phone, and therefore cannot be done anonymously
• Cybersecurity: Doing the same from just within an app his would require accessing directly to the AP software layers of the phone, which is undoable for a developer, and would trigger severe security breaches.
• Range: between 50 and 150 meters, depending on the #dot model, far greater than the 15 to 20 meters of a connection shared directly from a smartphone, where anonymity is uncertain.

The maximum throughput of a #dot is currently 15 MBps (MegaBytes per second). To prevent the #dot's from having too low a throughput, we limit the number of #dots per #dot to 3. Knowing that you can retrieve your e-mails at as little as 1 MBps, watch a video on YouTube in SD at as little as 3 MBps and a movie on Netflix in HD at as little as 7 MBps, the throughput of the #dotdot network is sufficient for many use cases.

Yes, #dotdot is designed with security in mind. Baseline, it's a network with WPA3 encryption. Being based on a Zero-Trust procedure, the #dotdot WiFi is actually more secure than most public WiFi hotspots.
No data is shared between the #doter and the #dotee: what is shared is the #doter’s right to access the Internet, via the connection between the #doter’s router and their #dot. A #doter never shares data – in particular personal data – with anyone connected to their #dot, and a #dotee never shares data – in particular personal data – with the #doter when connecting to their #dot.

The #dot device has a buffer battery that provides 24 hours of continuous use. In intermittent use, i.e. around 1 to 2 hours a day, a #dot has a battery life of around ten days. It can be easily recharged via its USB-C plug.

To become a #doter, simply purchase #dot's and create a #dotdot network from the router of your choice.

As soon as you see a #dotdot WiFi network nearby (do not forget that #dotdot is presently under the 2.4GHz band only for the moment! Check whether your phone natively sees such networks), you can connect to it. The password of all #dot's is "dotdot2021" by default, 2021 being the year of creation of the company DotDot S.A.S.
Some #dot owners may decide to change the default password to access the #dotdot network: they usually make it very visible so that anyone can actually connect without knowing who is the owner of the #dot repeating an internet access: so just watch around you, you should see the password!
