The Perfect Child is out of the USF dorms and is now in an apartment just off campus.
The complex provides a cablemodem for their residents, but not wifi.
She needs one Ethernet run for her laptop, and one for her DVD player.
(Really? A college student needs a DVD with web capability?
Man, I was happy to have a portable radio to break up the monotony in my first apartment. It was a huge day when I first got a 13" B&W TV.)
So... WAPs are $20 over at CompUSA.
Easy-Peasy, lemon-squeezy.
I dug into the on-board software to set up the SSID, passwords and encryption.
I was trying to come up with a memorable SSID, not too vague, not too cutesy...
One that might give the local ne'er-do-wells something to think about.
I think I have it...
Yeah, that might just do it.

That's classic. The internet being what it is, I named mine "abandon all hope".
