Got my Christmas present to myself today and installed it. The Meraki wirelsss repeater, which takes the signal from a DSL modem and converts it to WiFi. Think of it as dumb-as-dirt WiFi hotspot in a package about the size of an iPod. You plug in the Ethernet from the modem, plug in the power cord, screw the antenna on, and get online. You configure everything from the Meraki dashboard site online. You can have public or private access, tiered access, you can even charge for access. And restrict bandwidth. See the link in the BrainSpaces list to the right.

So now my house is wifi, and I moved Copernicus back into the Temple permanently.

Also added the link for FreeGeek in Portland, which see the video in the last post.
