Joe, actually, the fact that someone did not close the access point does not mean that you can freely use it. As Neil said, you could be accused of stealing the service and if I remember correctly, some people were prosecuted, both in the US and Canada. This is very similar to entering

Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

I’ve been using one of these for a few years. I just haul it up the burgee halyard. I run it to a WiFi router. Work pretty good, though browser based access systems can be a bother. http://islandtimepc.com/marine_wifi.html Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C

Re: Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

I cannot imagine how anyone could get into legal trouble connecting to an *open* WiFi access point. Cracking/guessing passwords is another story. OTOH you have *no idea* who is running some random AP and they may well have set it up to sniff the traffic. This is where a VPN comes in to hide

All, I don’t want to rain on people’s parade, but there are some details that are being overlooked or people are unaware of. 1. When it comes to “Wi-Fi”, the standard is constantly evolving. The latest standard 802.11ac or better utilizes both frequencies 5 & 2.4 as they are each

Hi, About 3 yrs ago I installed a WiFi system with the Ubiquiti BULLET-M2-HP WiFi radio mounted on top of the mast. These units are built for outdoor use and require no addition weather proofing. My system has survived several tropical storms and a hurricane, and still works flawlessly. I

Re: Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

And 5Ghz does NOT play well with glass or metal; the losses and scattering are huge, to the point where if you have a glassed-in conference room, you’re better putting in an access point for just that room, then dialing down the RF level so it doesn’t just splatter all over the place because of

Re: Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

5GHz is closer to light and propagates differently. It is goo for distance with a directional antenna and an unobstructed path. The fewer the obstruction, the better at 5GHz. The differences in signal propagation between 2.4 and 5 is one of the reasons for the new Wi-Fi standards that use

Re: Stus-List Omni WiFi antenna installation / connection range

5.8 GHz is great for condos and other areas where you need a lot of access points in a small area. From my house my 2.4 GHz signal carries halfway down the block and the 5 gig signal barely clears the front door. Joe Coquina C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On
