Been Away again this weekend just gone,
had a small dilemma, it was my week for primary callout, so I had to be within 30-45 minutes of a good internet connection and have good mobile phone coverage, normally this is not a problem, but if I get called out at 0200 and have been drinking, driving to the nearest McDonalds, is not a good plan !!
SO enter the wife???s worst nightmare, a campsite with WiFi !
Arrive on site, setup the caravan etc, crack out the beer :-)??, and go for a wander round with the PDA, not a bad setup, netgear 8dB twig on the main building, and a second one??with WiFI AP in repeater mode in the second field, NICE !!!
Sure enough, I get called out, a noddy called out, but still an official excuse to try the wifi 🙂
Used the Netgear USB adaptor I have, as this proves more reliable that the built in card in the jujitsu craptop I have for work, it is also a lot easier to more around for best signal !
Voila, network up, VPN up, logged on , all sorted, back to the beer !!!!!
Away in the Brecons
