So this isn’t TOTALLY real estate related, but it’s neat!
Massachusetts Real Estate Agent finds the Wi-Fire great at work, in the car and at home!!
He concludes, “The mind boggles.”
“1/31/11 So this isn’t TOTALLY real estate related, but it’s neat! hField, a Bethelehem, PA based company makes a product called the wifire. It plugs into your USB port on your laptop or computer and enables you to access wireless networks up to 1000 feet away. That’s really far. Like, you can start backing up to your external harddrive when you’re halfway home from work far. OR if you’re in an office like mine, where you’re a good bit of distance and a few walls away from the router, you hook this sucker up to your laptop and mount it on the precipice of your cubicle and shazam! 20% faster internet.
That’s just how it worked for me. It might be even more dramatic for you if you’re farther away from the router. Below is a picture of it in action, but check out their website for more information and demonstration.
I actually used this at my old house in Virginia. We were set back from the road so we couldn’t get cable which was ON the road. But this little guy allowed me, with my neighbor’s permission of course, to access my neighbor’s wireless network and save me from living in the 20th century. I’m sure that’s the case for many of you lovely hill town dwelling Western Mass-ochists. Or maybe you want to sit on your porch and use the internet from inside? Or in the pool? The mind boggles.”
