[SGVLUG] Solving the problem of Internet connectivity at Burger Continental

[Lan Dang]

Hi all,
I spoke with Cheryl about this Thursday's meeting and how to get wifi access.She says that she will ask the bartender to try to place the router so the signal will reach our meeting room.  Also, we should ask her or the other guy who serves our table for the access code.
That said, there is no guarantee that it will help our presenter, who may be located too far away from the access point. 

I am reluctant to touch their equipment or cabling directly as it may incur an obligation to be their tech support.   That is up to you.  I finally trained my family not to ask me for tech support unless the situation is dire, so I'm not willing to be on-call for anyone else.

I would be willing to come down and help do that.

I offered to bring down a WAP to donate to the restaurant.  We would need to run a Cat6 from their existing connection to the back room.

A call for a work party before our next meeting met with tepid response so the project did not move forward.

P.S.  I can still provide a LinkSys router if renewed interest rears its head.

We could use the hot spot feature on one of our phones. I'd be happy to let them use the hotspot feature on my iPhone. I have a couple of gigabyte on my data plan I can spare. Maybe someone has a router they can bring that we can use turn Wi-Fi into ethernet. I could meet with you early before the meeting starts at burger Continental next week to do some testing.
