No doubt you could.

Im sure apartment owners are going to be doing this for all thier residents.

Dank lives in downtown porltand in a sky rise apartment. He has a laptop with wireless G pre-installed in it.. He can pick up wireless G connections for free in his apartment so he never pays internet.. But its of course slow as wireless G is and in many parts of his apartment the signal is weak..

I brought my laptop there yesterday... There is some fool using a wireless N router with no protection.. And I am picking up the signal better than dank's wireless G, but not as strong as I normally would..

I thought it was strange it was weaker than normal. Here I was telling dank how strong it was and it wasnt as strong. It was just a bit better than his G connection.

We got in my car and drove 2 blocks down the street and the signal got MAXED..

The dude with the wireless N brodcast was fucking 2 blocks away 4 buildings away from danks apartment and I was getting a strong faster signal than wireless G..

Amazing..
