In effect, SBC is sending out DSL routers with transmitters turned on polluting the spectrum, when in fact, some clients are not even using the devices. Just what we need... There's no obvious words or antennas on the unit that would give the naive user the idea that there's wireless present or active. Look at http://www.2wire.com/home/hp_index.html#whatsnew . They brag that the wireless "bandwidth" is seven times more powerful. At 400 mW, it'll stomp on cordless phones and security cameras. SBC also makes it easy to re-admin the device: on this unit from SBC Wisconsin, the admin password is the customer's street address, minus the spaces and punctuation. Not that the docs or paperwork tell you that. The box's web interface has its own password reminder page with the clue "address". I didn't poke around enough to see how they preset the WEP key. Let me guess: based on the street address? - John _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
