We've considered it. I'm curious as to the WEP key list. You said it's generated at each event, so it's not recreated each time you reprogram the router.
I talked with the student that reprogrammed our router. Apparently all you have to do is enter in your team number, and that's it?
So another team could simply bring their spare router, tell the kiosk that they're #364, and they would have our encryption key? Messing us up would be as easy as leaving the router powered on in the pit under some jackets or something, right? That would explain why it would have worked after everyone left on Friday. Power to the pits I think was already cut off. It wouldn't jam our signal on the practice field because we're using their network equipment.
I don't want to believe it is malicious, but it's hard to brush off. FTA was completely unwilling to help us out in regards of getting the spare router, and we even asked for a different (temporary) team number, and they refused to do that for us.
