So much for wireless connectivity

A couple of weeks ago, I saw two guys testing for WiFi signal strength all over the building. It was a bit funny because one guy was holding the laptop with Notepad open and the other holding an external WiFi antenna. Wouldn’t that give different results compared to laptops with internal WiFi antennae? They were checking behind the supporting columns of the building and didn’t check for signal strength inside the rooms as well.

Then this week, I saw the engineer installing an outlet inside an enclosure on the walls outside the lobby (that face each hallway). I was hoping that they were going to install access points but it turns out to be surveillance cameras as reported by Dwek.

The next best area to install an AP is at the student center. It’s the next area most suitable for lounging next to the Computer Lab (aka DotA/MoFunZone Hub). You can try the library but smiling and giggling isn’t allowed there.
