Dale Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 i was just wondering, since i got Mario Kart for the DS i tried to count how many hotspots i could find, My neibors unsecured (i'll help him secure it later today) router and mine i found, although his was so weak it was unusable, and could only be picked up in two rooms of the house. but I want to know how much hotspots you know you have in your property. so for me i found 2 hotspots.

boynamedfoo Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Just mine--and it's locked down! My house may be too far away from other houses to pick up any of their WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2687 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Around 9 or 10 at one time. There used to be a lot of unsecured ones but now I guess they've all discovered WEP and WPA. There is one network that is always visible with a strong signal and lists as no encryption but I can never connect to it. I think it's run by some leet haxor kid trying crazy things. In some parts of Toronto there are way too many to count, like >30 Edited November 19, 2005 by Rob2687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kupo-Cheer Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) I can find 1.5... one being my own when I actually have it all set up, and the .5 being someone near me with an unsecured wireless connection that I can use if I step outside... the signal through my walls is too weak and dodgy to really use. Actually I'm surpised there are any, living in a technologiclaly dead zone of the US. I was suprised very much driving the other day and just finding random unsecured (and believe me, they are all unsecured here) internet hotspots around town.

SnowRanger13 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 There are about 3 unsecure wifi networks I can get from up stairs in my house. Downstairs I can only get my own witch has WPA and limited Mac Addresses setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circaflex Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 3 and then another one which is secured if i could figure out which neighbors they belonged to i would help them out and tell them to secure it. none have shared drives either.
