Yay!!! My Fon hotspot start to pay for itself, how fun!!! I have just realized that I have had my first guest on my public Fon hotspot and he has bought a 1 hour Internet pass, too!

I am really excited about this. It also marks a huge triumph for Fon over Apple’s highly expensive but complete rubbish Airport wifi system – biggest trash on this planet. The signal out on the street and especially behind the house still is a bit weak, but compared to the trashy Airport (1 base station and 3 Airport Express working as signal repeaters!!!) which couldn’t even cover the entire apartment – and no, I do not live in a castle – this ONE Fon router not only covers the entire apartment, it covers the entire house and parts around the house.

Enough apparently to get me my first paying hotspot user!

I now have plans to install a second (and maybe a third) Fon router, both with a Fontenna attached to them and directed to the recreational area just behind our house and the other one directed towards the street. I have even thought about using a powerline connection to the attic and put the router there and the Fontenna right on the roof! There is still an old TV antenna up there, entirely unused – we’re all on cable TV and analogue TV has also been completely substituted by DVB-T in the area. It would however make a nice supporting pole for the Fontenna – he he !

I have read that the Fontenna should have a directional cover range of up to 200 meters / 650 ft. If installed on the roof, I could even reach over to the nearby beer garden – LOL! Well, rather unlikely the signal would be strong enough over that distance.

Get a Fonera and Join the Community!

Take part in the fun, too, and make Fon the biggest public Internet access provider in the world with free Internet for everybody who contributes with an own hotspot. Plus, you will have the best WiFi router at the best price, ever. Trash your costly Apple or whatever equipment, I had learnt my lesson hard enough that money does NOT always equal quality (sorry, Apple, do something about those Airports…).

I have still 20 invitations from Fon to give out for a Fonera at a discount price, just drop me a line if you would like to receive an invitation, or click on the image on the left to be taken right to Amazon to get a Fonera from there.
