If your camp has some kind of internet connection and you are planning to share it over Wi-fi then I might be of help.
Even If you have 1mb we could share it over 100 users without any trouble.
The traffic will be shaped in such a way that huge downloads, torrents and basically non-essential stuff will be slowed down to the maximum,
while leaving the normal browsing / emails as fast as possible and equally shared between all active users.
I have several routers flashed with custom firmware called Gargoyle which allows to do deep-level traffic tuning and balancing which is ideal for harsh conditions like ours. I can bring them to the playa.
I will be more than happy to answer any questions and provide assistance.

Re: Wifi
Okay, one thread is enough to address this. Don't start any more.
One of the mods will either merge this to the other, or cut it out completely.

Re: Wifi
Am I understanding this correctly, there isn't free wifi all over burning man? lol, next you're going to tell me there aren't vendors selling food either. I have been to a music festival before you know.

Re: Wifi
It might not be all over but there is a hilarious amount of wifi blanketing the playa. Some of it is hooked up to the internet, some of it probably serving up porn.BurnerBunny wrote:Am I understanding this correctly, there isn't free wifi all over burning man? lol, next you're going to tell me there aren't vendors selling food either.

We should all watch the livestream in front of a livestream camera... That'll show them!
