<p>An old building normally has thick walls and it is not good for wifi OR wireless transmission. If wireless signals are weak in the building hotspots will not work either.</p>
<p>The best results will be pull his own lines from the street, that will make the signals strong with broadband.</p>
<p>S2 signed up for regular internet through the cable company. He has deal with kid in the apt next door. For $25 / month, S2 gives him the password so they can both use. He has control, so if the guy doesn’t pay, he just changes the password. That was cheaper and more reliable that a hotspot where he is. Also he doesn’t have to have the TV, just the internet via the cable.</p>
<p>Tango, that sounds like a reasonable plan for use while in the apt, but not so useful for connecting while traveling.</p>
