Bridge mode.  Thanks.

And sticking with the old router is a reasonable suggestion.  I'm just=20
not sure it's actually going to be practical in the shared hotel=20
environment.  But with G mode now quite outdated, provided the hotel=20
still offers that and I'd guess they do still offer at least G (tho maybe=
=20
not A/B), it /might/ mean I'm about the only one on it and=20
/could/ mean I even get better speeds than I would on the N and AC modes=20
if they're clogged.

I'll have to call and confirm they offer G mode...

Worst case, I don't have Internet for three months and watch TV and/or=20
get a lot of books read.

Yeah.  The two good points are (1) that the city is actually paying=20
commercial movers for the move, which I effectively signed off on today,=20
so worst-case, I don't do anything and let them do it all, but end up=20
storing a bunch of stuff I'd probably get rid of if I did it myself, and=20
not having the stuff I'd keep as sorted, but it does kind of lower the=20
stress as one way or another it'll get done, and (2) while it's=20
unpleasantly forcing me out of my familiar shell in the near term, the=20
change should be healthy for me long term.

As for the heat, I've not felt it much yet this year.  Given that it's=20
happening at the very early tip of June, I hope/expect it won't be too=20
bad.  I'm a bit worried about the move out of the temp housing at the end=
=20
of August, however.  Except if I get my butt in gear and have things=20
sorted and a lot thrown out at this end on the first, then I'll have less=
=20
to deal with on the other end and it'll be already sorted.
