WiPhi Testing

I'm currently connected to the WiPhi network. I do live near the corner of Spring Garden. Signal strength is 80 - 95%. Only my local wireless connection is higher. I've obtained an address and its in the 10.2 range. Currently I have 10.2.15.101, netmask of 255.255.252.0 and default router of 10.2.12.1. Its set to channel 11. I'm curious as to how they planned the channels out, if they're only using 1,6 and 11 or if they chose to use 1,4,8 and 11 or if they let the actual AP choose its channel based on signal interference. I see also there is another network named FeatherSecure which is not supported by my PSP. Completely unrelated, I've found an access point named Cisco_CallForAccess2679188524. I'll follow up on that later. All in all it seems to work well from where I'm sitting.

Free WiPhi

Wireless Philadelphia is well under way and Earthlink is currently offering a free trial run until January 21st. The map above shows the areas currently covered by Earthlink. To log on to the network "simply click on Feather by Earthlink from your computers list of available networks to get surfing." I'll be trying this out when I get home as I should be blanketed in coverage. After the 21st, the plan is only $17.95 per month. Now if only GMail would go completely SSL.
