If the public access was a secure net, you could not use it :-)) It's that
way by design. Of course the stuff Verizon advertises for money I'm sure
needs a user/pass.
Measure/estimate the thickness of your walls in a straight line from your
laptop to the router, it may give you an idea. At public places they have
an unobstructed air path to the router.
As a side qustion - wonder if commercial installation use the same power for
their routers, or is there such a thing as "commercial rating"?
