Just trying to keep this thread alive. I just got an Orinoco Gold so I'm looking forward to some stumbling. Only problem is I don't have a range extender (I'm really really poor after financing the laptop and buying the Orinoco). Is it still possible to stumble without a dash-mounted range extender?

If anyone can give me tips I'd appreciate it. Also, how are you guys setting up your systems? Do you unbind TCP/IP from the 802.11b card, so that you don't end up intruding on people's networks?

I would love it if some Toronto people started sharing maps. Unfortunately, I don't have a GPS... do most of you stumblers have one as well?

Right, I stumbled for the first time today. Holy crap are there a lot of linksys APs with WEP turned off. I don't know how many sites I found. Maybe 15 to 20 with WEP and 60 to 70 without WEP.

Unfortunately, no GPS. So all I can do is look for interesting SSIDs.

The one that cracked me up the most was "Grand & Toy"

Grand & Toy
Yep, it seems every Grand & Toy location has an AP, maybe for the cash registers?

There is one in the building I live in - no WEP, but the AP has MAC filtering turned on.

btw, Range Extender antennae can be had for a fairly good price from http://www.cendirect.com

I'd love to share Toronto info with you if you are an active stumbler in the area. I'm just waiting for my tax return to get an eTrex then I'm good to go. Having no GPS is a real downer.

The map was created with MapPoint 2002/Stumbverter. I'll probably go back out today/tonight, I still really want to do Yonge St, from Finch to Front st.

Hey Guys:

Thanks for the T.O. info.

Have you folks seen the TWCN (Toronto Wireless Community Network) page?
You'll find a LOT of sites listed on there.
TWCN Home Page

Particularly, this page:
Proliferation Map
Under current findings, Click on "Current Map of WNAP proliferation"

I used a great 5dBi omni I got from Signull in the U.S.
Signull Web Site
Cost me about $30.00 U.S. plus shipping and I'm very happy
with it.


Hope this helps. Let's keep this post going!

Toronto, Canada
I checked the list and I am surprised that there is no one from Toronto, let alone Canada.

I can't be the only one wardriving in the Snow?

I was recently driving by Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and picked-up on an unsecured wireless networks with the GTAA, not to mention about 80 or so APs I had picked up on an inaugural drive downtown (this was without an external antenna).

If you are out there, let me know......

A quick use of the search button turned up a bunch of people.

There are a number of Canadians on here, including myself in Edmonton.

There are a number of us. Just keep poking around, and you'll find one of us, or connect to one of our networks...
