I used my neighbor's wifi till winter made the signal impossible, so I asked my other neighbor for his password so I could use his perfect signal one. He forgets it, so he unlocks the box manually, then forgets how to set a password. Leaving it open the rest of the year.

It was a good signal, but the box would crap out from time to time. Making me feel sorry for him enough to make me buy him a better router when xmas came so that I could leach off of his internets more reliably, lmao

That's a great idea!

Buy cheap routers, flash dd-wrt, and give them to your neighbors as gifts. They never crash and can be securely managed.. you can even do multiple WLANS and hotspots that are firewalled from each other.

It's the gift that keeps on giving... to you.
