Wireless Question?

Snake21605 · 03-20-2007, 01:33 PM

OK when I am at my g/f's house I use the neighbors internet to get a signal. It works most of the time, but sometimes I can connect but no internet comes through...just too weak of a signal I am sure. But none the less I am in the same area. Is it the outside atmosphere? It didn't work most of the winter...so could it be the weather..?

And do you have the neighbour's permission to use their wireless connection?

Unless you can convince me that this is anything but stealing, I'm going to close this thread.

and you are aware it is a felony to use someone elses wireless without their authorization.

Perhaps your GF should buy her own Internet access, that will solve this issue.
