Why do I spend the money I saved this summer on cable internet? I spend it because the WiFi here sucks. When there is an AP on the floor below me in the hallway and I can't access it in the daytime, there is valid reason for me to obtain a working internet connection.
As for RF interference, I can say that when I installed my AP, I ran NetStumbler, and saw that the schools APs ran on channels 1, 6, and 11. As a responsible resident, I set my AP to channel 3 as to avoid any interference.
I know that there is a petition that will be circulating very soon among students in the Waterview apartments. Now, if the school would use a certain set of channels and "allow" the students to use anothere set.
Well, I'm off to change my SSID to "Come and Take it", and maybe line my whole apartment with some aluminum foil. You have to love an engineering school that embraces technology like UTD does...
