[Chuck Roberg]

Just wondering if all the bugs got worked out and if wireless internet will be available again during the PRA convention.

I have been on it some already today. Not ballistic but yes it is up and running.

There are a few isolated areas where the signal's weak, but I've spoken to a few folks using it who say it's working fine.

This is one area that the PRA needs to address permenantly. The WIFI was spotty and from my camper I could not access it some of the time. What is needed to make it work throughout the airport with a good strong signal? Sitting at the concession isnt good without somewhere to plug in power since internet on a laptop eats up battery.

How much for a good antenna/router combination?

I don't think the PRA has a lot of extra cash to devote to expanding a wifi system that is only used once a year. If you want improved reception of a weak signal invest in a receiver/repeater for your camper:

...or get a 3G card. They were working fine.
