Just to state the obvious...I'm a member of Central (not the obvious
part). If you put the wireless router on the second floor balcony near
the center of the balcony, I would think that it would provide the
largest dispersal of signal. "They" always tell you to put the
router as high as possible and the center of the balcony would be high
and it would be central (no pun).<br>
<br>
If this has already been addressed, then my apologies, but I just figured I'd mention it...<br>

I'm supposed to set up a temporary wireless network at Central<br>Presbyterian Church, for tomorrow nights St. Paul Mayoral debate. St.<br>Paul E-Democracy is a co-sponsor.<br><br>I've taken my apple Airport Express down and hooked it up to their

<br><br>I'm asking for help because,<br><br>#1) I'd like to extend the signal further than I was able<br>#2) I'm nervous that despite my experiment, things won't<br> work tomorrow night and I'm won't be able to get<br>
it up and running (I'm a novice at wireless stuff)<br><br>If you can't help on-site, but feel competent to offer telephone<br>support, that would also be helpful, please let me know.<br><br>We would need to get the network up and running sometime after 2:00
<br>(tomorrow) and well before 6:00 PM. Doors open at 6:00.<br><br>The purpose is for the campaigns to be able to communicate during the<br>debate and for some e-democracy folks (in the room) to "chat" with<br>folks who are listening to the live broadcast on MPR.
