[TriLUG] OT: Wireless Hotspot weekly rental?

[Chris Merrill]

After rooting the droid, I installed the Open Garden WiFi Tether app.  The results
were inconsistent.  When I could connect from my laptop and tablet, both would
loose their connections within a few minutes.  Sometimes they would not connect
at all.

So I installed CyangenMod 7, which was relatively painless, and tried again. The
results were much better - I read e-mail and surfed for about 15 minutes without
any issues.  I have not done a longer-term test, but it will certainly get a workout
on vacation.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Chris
