Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

Alex, I know the local provider you're potentially working with, and it's a "You get what you pay for" issue. Comcast is oversubscribed, and bandwidth strangled. That's how they can charge less. Remember the old modem days? oversubscribed modem pools were cheaper, but crappy service. Same sit

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

I keep hearing about this Comcast 50mbps connection from those who have Comcast...is it 50/50 We have a 15/1 DSL from Megapath and if more than 2 people download intensively, it might as well be 1/1. Jerome __ BLANKSPACES "work FOR yourself, not BY yourself" www.blankspaces.com

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

We have a Comcast 50mbps connection which is our main connection, and an AT&T 18mbps u-verse connection for our backup. We have a router, the brand/model of which I have forgotten, which handles failover. Like IndyHall, it's more upstream latency that's an issue rather than the connection speed.

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

Truthfully, I can't say that Clear is much of a solution for anything and I'd consider it as an experiment largely a failure. When we fail over to it everybody still knows it. In order to even send an email to our list to let people know about the outage, I usually end up tethering to my iPhon

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

We currently pay $50/month for a Clear 4g modem that we fail over to. It gets swallowed up really fast, and I might argue that no internet is worse than internet that barely works. We actually have more issues with upstream latency than actual download/upload speeds. The end effect for our m

This is a very timely post - as our area of the city experienced a system-wide outage for about 15 minutes the other day with Charter. We have a Charter Business service with 50Mbps ... and no usage cap. We have a wireless router on each floor to complement the 24 ethernet ports distributed t

If you wanted to keep the same IP address, you'd have to get your own IP block and then do some BGP sessions, for most internet providers, you'd now become a IP Transit customer instead of a standard internet customer. There is some software that you can run on a spare computer that you can use to

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

We have Comcast and AT&T coming into Workantile, and we were load-balancing between the two. But the problem was that if you were switched to the other carrier, your IP address would change and some services didn't like that. VPNs don't like that at all, and some web apps, like Harvest, didn't l

We pretty much have one rule, "Don't be a jerk", which has worked out pretty well. This usually entails that if I have a super important Skype conference call, I ask people to not torrent for the next half hour. It's not foolproof, but it's free and easy and fosters communication to solve problems

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

We're in a bit of a stranglehold for providers in our area, unfortunately, but our router (a pfsense based router) handles both bonding of two connections, as well as doing failover in case one takes a dive. It also tells you about bandwidth usage per client, and as Jerome said, the easiest an

Re: [Coworking] How do you handle wireless network passwords?

Do any of you use multiple carriers simultaneously (not just for back up)? Example - Comcast + Verizon? I'm wondering how complicated that would be to set up. Also, if you have a single password for the entire coworking space, is there any way to tell who is hogging the bandwidth? Thanks! -- *A
