What did Linksys support say about it?

What type of hotspot are you trying to connect to?

You probably want to run up to the Welcome Desk and read all the posts there before some of the really nasty SOBs that hang around here get the BBQs fired up.

It's been a long week. TGIF. I had a couple of slow days so I worked on the HoneyDo list. 600' of pipe and 14 35' radius sprinklers planted via 'chinese dragline'. I'm getting too old for this shit.

But the back yard is finally on the irrigation system. We have not had rain in weeks. So now with 2 more zones on the system, it's going to rain all weekend.

I'd be glad to send you some rain (rained the last few weekends here). I need to get outside and cut the grass. The people coming to look at the house has to use cane knives to get to the front door.

So, since you're going to act like a 10 year old and ask stupid questions, I'm going to ask one myself. Why in holy hell would you want to do that? This is the whole reason why you have wireless cards! You walk into the business like a grown up with money so you can support the business, and then you sit down and use the nice wireless hotspot they provided.

My bullshit meter is twitching so high on this one, that I'm going to guess that you want to just steal internet from a hotspot. Am I right Will Robinson?!

See, I told you they would be along shortly. They are really evil, mean, nasty people that don't need a reason to flame someone.

And then you failed to read the info in the Welcome Desk, so it will be like sharks in bloody water.

POPCORN!!

Please, for the love of god, use the correct form of capitalization. Also, the standard is one period at the end of every sentence.

After having 500 people ask vaguely the same question you have, and 499 of them wanting to steal internet, can you blame my bullshit meter for twitching? Again, why would you want to do that? I'm going to use the flaming spoon and suggest you look up bridging.
