Wifi/Connectivity in the GA Dome??

[whakojacko]

yep im using the vex pit signal too. Very bad though, it fluctuates in and out.

if there is any progress on the wi-fi internet access near galileo... please stop by section 121 and look for the 121 kid w/ the hawiian 25 shirt over it... thx

dittto the vex pits, except somehow in the middle of Newton, I get ~95% signal strength...

Vex connection worked pretty well from the Autodesk kiosk.

I was at Galileo and only picked up Peer to Peer Networks ( Between Computers ), I didn't try circuit runners or interent first. however there were a couple of networks with the net but was under WEP Encryption

yea, I got wireless signal good, you can find open networks all over (a war drivers dream). But, there is also a cyber center thingy by the starbucks, which is nice. I recomend the Tripple Cafe Mocha!

I'm in the pits, also on the vex network. I'm not too sure about that internet-first one, as it appeared in my hotel also. So it would appear that however its connected to the internet, its not wireless.

How about at the hotels? My hotel says they have "free" high speed internet, but I can't find it.. I could pay $10 and activate the WAP on my TV, which is apparently what they mean.

I just found a router, and a bunch of ethernet ports mounted to a wall. Its behind 395's pit in newton, on the big pole. Not sure about it, but this internet could be the same as in the dome? I'd go check it out, but I left my network cable in the hotel

i am in the pits also on the vex network and sometimes it wont let me connect....what we need is for all the teams with AP's to hook them up and we can daisy chain internet to the dome

I would bring my router if I thought I could leave it somewhere, but I can't afford to lose it. Also, not sure if there are any hard hookups anywhere. I'll just use the vex. It's easier to get on today than it was yesterday.
