Maybe require them to authorize by MACID or limit them to the number of devices they can have on the Wi-Fi? Nothing of that sort is going to be popular but maybe then they would realize you are on to them and stop the sharing policy. Another option if it is a managed router is to change the password or SSID frequently and or make it a real pain for all the others sharing to have to bug the paying client? Or is it possible to change the settings on the wireless side to not allow devices below a certain signal level to connect? I have seen that feature on some access points. Maybe won't stop everyone possible from connecting but certainly would make their performance suffer to those outside the main unit.

I'd have to go review the terms as I don't recall specifically what's in there. It's a crime in this state regardless. I guess I'm just averse to conflict and I'd rather do something to just prevent them from doing it. Maybe I'll have to get all the units lined with mylar so they can't share anymore. :) -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
