actually if you can and use netstumbler try to locate the node post what # you receive under SNR+ (supposably this is to signify your best signal reception) and try tilting the laptop a full 90+ degrees (http://www.jonbaer.net/wifi/images/snr.gif).
it would interesting to see if we all could find one spot/table to test what we end up with. - jon pgp key: http://www.jonbaer.net/jonbaer.asc fingerprint: F438 A47E C45E 8B27 F68C 1F9B 41DB DB8B 9A0C AF47 ----- Original Message ----- From: "withoutwires" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 7:49 PM Subject: Re: [nycwireless] downtown > Bowling Green access has been good to me.
