[nycwireless] YachtMama

  Has YachtMama ever considered providing infrastructural wireless access? In Manhattan, North Cove Marina and the 89th St Boat Basin could really use it to boost the value of mooring around there. What better use of wireless than on the water? Is there any outfit that does provide wireless

[nycwireless] Re: Netgear Dongle a mean little thing

Jon: You are so right! I've also noticed the tendency from manufactureres to making a product work primarily with other products of the same ilk. I've also noticed making new equipment less feature-rich in order to get the customer to buy more stuff. Examples: 1. The D-Link 900+ AP is supposed

Thank you, it's a good product, but I'm hoping for something smaller.   Still looking for a dongle Dying for a dongle Gotta have more...dongle :)   Rob   P.S. Sorry for homage to Christopher Walken cowbell scene.  If you haven't seen it, check http://www.geekspeakweekly.com/cowbell/  

[nycwireless] Manhattan: List of Wired Places?

I was walking through midtown the other day and I passed by a place that I thought I'd read about on CitySearch. It'd be good to check, but I didn't have my laptop. Damn. It would've been really good to duck in some place, check out the scoop on said place, and feel, well, informed. Voila!

[nycwireless] What Home AP to get?

I have to agree and disagree with previous posts: The Linksys 4-port wireless router (BEFSR...) has been a nightmare. It flakes out once every two days. Cycle the power and it connects again, but still, shouldn't they have fixed this by now? Rob __ Do you

Re: [nycwireless] Handling the March Against War

I like that idea. I know a coworker with a camera hooked up to a laptop hooked up to a wireless card. From an app standpoint, here are a couple opportunities. These assume you ccan cover the whole demonstration area. * Create a simple sign-in page. If there was some mechanism to verify the

[nycwireless] Unwiring a walkup

This same topic came up in a conversation the other day. It'd be a good prototype to add wireless to a standard Village five floor walkup. I remember hearing a strategy that involved putting the wireless antenna in the back yard and aiming it back at the building. Village rowhouses don't

[nycwireless] LinkSys BEFW11S4 price drop (good/bad?)

I noticed the prices on the LinkSys LinkSys BEFW11S4 have gone down (now $119). Is this a good unit or a turkey? I've been asked several times for a good all-around Access Point for a newbie. This one looks tempting because of the built in router and the ability to attach a bigger antenna

[nycwireless] Re: maps.nycwireless.net

Just my two cents: IfNYCwireless replicates a database--or gives out a database to be replicated--doesn'tit make sense thatthe databasebe open-source (MySQL, PostgreSQL)? It seems unwise to bind a non-profit to a proprietary license it doesn't control, no matter how wonderfully generous are the

[nycwireless] Linux Access Point? Router? What can I do here?

Hi: I have an old laptop I’ve wanted to incorporate into my wireless network, but I've gotten too muddle-headed to see it clearly. I’m looking to have (in order of priority): 1. An extra router/firewall (to further separate my home network from the wireless network) 2. NoCatAuth 3. A

[nycwireless] Re: [NYCw-apps] APmap-by-phone

Is there any chance of modifying the database? The names field is too long to be useful in a WAP app, and it's not regular enough to risk running a script on. ID, Lat, and Lon are good, but they don't mean much when you see them If we couldn't redo it entirely, it'd be nice to add a couple fields
