Fort Lauderdale, FL | Re: Poor linksys said by runzero:Don't forget "default" and "NETGEAR"! I was just gonna ask why it's always linksys that's used with that joke. If I ever get a laptop of my own, I live next store to a linksys free hotspot. The only bad thing is he uses AT&T 1.5 mbps. I also "hacked" into the router but I didn't change anything so my neighbor doesn't know anything is amiss. The guy is an asshole and the whole neighborhood hates him, otherwise I would probably tell him about his gaping security hole.
I put hacked in quotes because it wasn't much of a hack. I (think) I typed the ip address into a browser and and I was prompted for a logon to ddwrt whatever. I recognized that as being a router, so I Googled for the admin password and viola.

Wow, I'd have to say he deserves to be screwed with | |

| | | | | | Re: Poor linksys I'm going to guess that if he's using DD-wrt and doesn't have it locked down, it's probably a trap and you're the idiot. | |

kudos:1 | said by TSWYO:Everyone has to pick on it. Dumb user open wifi is really rare today. WPS and the fact the default software (wizard on the cd) make it impossible to not encrypt your wifi. The button and usb stick setup systems work no matter how computer illiterate you are. | |

Fort Walton Beach, FL | Can't beat free hotspots... And there are so many more... This is the main reason my cell minutes are almost non-existent and my wifi voip minutes are through the roof.
Also, the above mentioned free wifi spots (McDonalds, Starbucks etc) have all made it real easy to authenticate with a mobile browser and with proper QOS set on your phone you can't compare g711 to cell.
Now if muni-wifi would just move forward as fast as hotspot wifi then we'd really be moving in the right direction.

This is interesting because according to one of the many rumors about the up coming iPod Touch 4G it will have native VoIP built into it. I have used Skype on my 2G and it works very well, a Touch with this capacity built right into it would be great. Even in Cheyenne more and more business's are installing Wifi as a way a bringing in customers, and business friends who have done this tells me it works.

Columbus, OH | Kinda makes sense... Kinda makes sense in a way. For the price most of these hotspot owners have been charging when most people use them for fairly limited periods and their subscription is either limited to a single hotspot (if privately run) or at the very least the hotspot company running them (ala Wayport and the like), they probably came to the realization that they weren't making much money off it because the cost to use ratio was way too high and in the same light not many people have been subscribing. At least that's my take on it.

Careful with the kool aid.
If you have to be a paying customer, it ain't free... | |

While this is true... hacking someone's email seems to "NET" you access to the hotspots, unless or [UNTIL] there is a separate authentication which requires something else/different. Not that I condone or recommend hacking, but that vs wep hacking-- one might just be easier than the other.

Princeton Junction, NJ | Linksys wifi I can go into almost any neighborhood and find at least 1 unsecured router. Very useful if I absolutely need Internet access on my iPod touch while on the road. | |
