Re: [WiFi] 30Mbps Over Public xfinitywifi!For what it's worth, and while I think we're getting off topic here, I run an open AP at home (my own, not Comcast's). Yes, I know there are lots and lots of negative implications for this, but I happen to run it on an isolated 2.4GHz SSID, throttle and apply QoS to the connections so that my traffic always takes priority and I've kicked people off when I notice the connection was being overused (and I also happen to limit what ports can be used).
Information should be free and the power/bandwidth being used is often negligible. When my Wi-Fi/Internet goes out temporarily, I'm always appreciative of the neighbor who's doing something similar. |

I had no idea so many people were doing this...hmmm...
If a company were to supply you with this access point for free to connect to your network to create a free public hotspot limited to b and 1Mbps, would you install it?
I had an idea a long time ago of how to create a free public wifi across whole cities, but I didn't think people would be willing to connect the devices so I didn't give it any more thought after my initial research. |
