So here's the deal, a friend and i are in a condo we rented for spring break for a week in Florida. We are in the condo now and i am connected to the wireless internet and he cant connect. We are sitting right next to each other and we both have identical macbooks. The trick to this is we didn't even know this condo would have wireless internet, therefore we have no idea were the router is or anything. Is there anything he can do to get a signal? If it matters the name of the signal I'm getting is "Linksys"
Thank you as always
Have a great night.😕
 
If you haven't already, turn airport off and then back on. You can try to join the linksys network by typing the name in if you choose "Other..."
 
If you don't see a router handy, and it wasn't mentioned as part of your rental package ... then you're probably on some other person's network.

The legality of using an open WiFi network is a little flakey, some consider it stealing, others consider an open network an invitation to log on. I'd be wary of sending passwords or CC info over someone else's un-encrypted network, for all you know they're sniffing your packets.

Cycle his Airport on and off, restart, check his network settings.

As being their elders we must give them confidence and this comes with drinking beer. Then and only then, can the women be found. We must not mislead them on this endeavor to manhood.
