Ramada Inns...

Configuration and operational information about stumbled AP's

Ramada Inns...

Postby Florida » Sat Jun 01, 2002 11:08 am

Today I went on a rather long network stumble around town.

At the Interstate the encircles the city I live in, is a Ramada Inn, while waiting for the light to change I picked up the following information...

SSID - ramada_wireless
Name - RoamAboutAp
CHannel - 3
Vendor - EnteraSys (Cabletron)

Plus the AP showed up without any encryption being turned on.

I was wondering if anyone else had picked up similar information or perhaps was this unique to the Ramada Inn that I passed.

Thanks for any insight.

This might be similar to some of the things going on in different hotels where you can access the internet from certain parts of the hotel.

This should allow you to search for any of these places in your area if they are advertising that they have this service ...

Wayport.net is putting APs in many places. They don't have encryption (from what I have seen) but they are a pay service.

Anytime you launch your browser you are forced to the wayport homepage.

I was at a Holiday Inn select in Wichita and they had an AP hooked up to a T1.

$9.95 a day. It sure beat the cost of all the local calls to my ISP.
