I'm studying right now in Heller Hall. They must've moved all the APs up into the ceiling when they renovated last year. I'll take a picture the next one I see.

Yoyo, nnniiiiiccccee!
 

Typical / Best

As much as I hate TWC, I'm having Road Runner reinstalled ASAP. 7/512 and drops out at least twice a week, but it is better than what I am getting with Clear. Only other option is DSL over AT&T lines. 🙁

Meh, it's faster than when I lived in CT and had COX. I get good torrent speed which is all that matters.

I wish I could get your upload speed for my download.

My upload is like 0.25 usually. We are so behind here. All old wiring and stuff. They should just run fiber to the house and be done. Doubt we'll see that here ever though. It's not cost effective from the ISP's point of view, unless major competition comes in or something.

I know, it's terrible. Thing is, this is typical for two different locations 8 miles apart, and tech support claims it is a misconfigured tower that they will fix. I just find it odd that it's the same on two different towers so far apart. When I tested my modem at the Clear reseller's location, this is what it does:



When I tested the service in December, I got this:

When I get Roadrunner, I'll get this:

Here's a picture of the Access Point. I guess I made up the Cisco logo. Anyways, when I came back to school about a year and a half ago, they were on the ceilings and walls of every room.

Well, whatever they are, they can sure handle some serious bandwidth. It's also looking like some buildings have better backbones than others. I'm in Wilson Library today and it's a bit faster than Heller was.

Yeah, I just noticed I connect at 300 Mbit/s in Wilson as opposed to 144 Mbit/s. There are probably 10-12 people connected to this AP right now as well.
 
Pretty darn quick.

That doesn't look like a CISCO AP, I am curious who makes that device. I could probably ask my old co-workers what it is, haha.

But those are definitely N speeds.
 


Could be faster but hell its 10x better than my old 1mb up 256k down dsl that dropped if I tried to play a game and torrent at the same time.
 
Yeah, there's been some nice advances in the CISCO world with wireless, those are the old style, but they work pretty well still.
 
I know it's pretty decent as far as range goes. If I'm in a coffee shop across from a campus building or something similar, I can usually connect to the U's access points.

I'm not sure if it's the AP, the U's 802.1x implementation, or OS X 10.6.2 itself but occasionally I can't connect to the 'U of M Secure' network that uses 802.1x. Sometimes it refuses to authenticate. It happens if I reboot in Windows 7 as well so I'm leaning towards Apple's wireless drivers or the AP itself. Googleing the problem hasn't turned up anything. Most days it's fine, however.
