duh, this is why you have a wife.

:thumbsup:

DAMN I JUST KNEW they had to be good for SOMETHING!

Where does one get this wife thing you're talking about. Also, how much for one of those? Any hot deals?
 
I have an intel 2200g minipci in the notebook but it can't pick up the signal from the other side of the hotel. The little usb netgear 802.11b adapter will pick it up if I hold it up high enough. Too bad Netgear never bothered to write wpa compatible drivers for this adapter.
 
Agree about the hotel's poor Wi Fi setups.

I've stayed in 1/2 dozen with Wi Fi this year & some of them were pretty messed up, which is pretty strange, Wi Fi's pretty simple.
 
I recently stayed in a Detroit airport hotel and the wireless signal couldn't penetrate the doors to the rooms, so everyone was sitting on the floor in the hallway browsing in pajamas and boxer shorts. heheheh. Made a 4 star hotel look like a homeless shelter 😀
 
This is the reason why you should always have a roll of duct tape handy. No not to tape it to your head but to the wall.
