Is there? How to access?

On a related topic, Leslie may need a few hours of FAST internet, and doesn't want to drive back to Chicago to get it. Any idea where in or around OSH she may be able to find it? Public library maybe?

I know the one you're talking about, but that's for use 10 or 15 minutes at a time, IIRC. She's probably going to need to sit down and do some serious SAS runs VPNed into her office. Thanks, though!There is member's only (EAA members, that is) tent or building that has land lines and real internet. Often a line for it though.

Yup. The problem is that she wants FAST internet. She plugs in at home because the speed degradation of using our WiFi is noticeable.Sorry. Like the other boys said, you guys will have a car, so you can visit the lovely metropolis of Oshkosh or find a Starbucks or Panera. Good luck.

Yeah, she's actually floated the idea of leaving, driving back home to do her work, and then coming back out. If Odin smiles on her, she won't need to do any work while at OSH, but he tends to be pretty fickle!I can't imagine where she'll find that. I've never been able to identify an internet source as robust as my own when traveling. Just one of the things I give up to go on holiday.
The only thing that comes to mind is there is at least one University in the area, possibly more. Their libraries will be open, and she might be able to get onto a computer there. The coal library might work, though I doubt their connection will be as fast.

That's a possibility. Thanks!Grant, how about the business office at the hotel along the North 40 fence?
I connected fine with my iPad over by the Cessnas 2 Oshkosh tent. I'm camped out near the entrance/exit by Friar Tucks and can't get it from here.Anybody in the N40 get it working yet? The EAAWIFI SSID is broadcasting but any attempt to join it here has been useless. Luckily my phone 3G signal/bandwidth seems to be much better than last year.

My EAAWIFI at 12:15 is 66ms/3.78Mbps/0.66Mbps at the PoA compound.Nope. Says "can't connect" and dies. First night we were here it connected, redirected to one of those silly disclaimer login pages and worked for about ten minutes.
Verizon LTE is working great though, 4-5 bars everywhere and reasonable bandwidth... you can see the extra COW trucks they and AT&T parked and their towers, at the fiber hut along the road just South of the bath house at the big gate and road split/curve on the South side. (East of the North 40 cafe.)
Also saw some AT&T service trucks rolling down the road leaving the North 40 earlier so the carriers are apparently paying attention this year.
Beautiful night out tonight. Hazy so not many stars, but breeze and cool.
Lovely day... Walked around and scoped stuff.
Cubs all parked together up front is gorgeous.
Love seeing the one old 182 that has needed a paint job for about 15-20 years over in Vintage.
Chatted with Lt. Col William O'Connor, USAF (Ret.) about his 182 and his book on the F-117 just on a chance encounter in the North 40. www.stealthfighter.infoMy EAA WIFI 15 minutes later is 66ms/3.78
Saw Dave Pascoe (Mr. LiveATC.net) a couple times in passing and talked for a bit.
Sat "on the beach" at the corner where warbirds ends and the taxiway and 9/27 is... and watched a whole lot of folks bounce landings... Way more than the usual percentage this year. We counted six for one Mooney, and I guess I wasn't looking when the Skyhawk did it for half of the length of 36 earlier. I hear that was impressive.
Ate a little food, drank a lot of fluids, scrubbed off all the sunscreen and ready to do it again tomorrow!
Here's VZ LTE at midnight:
And me at midnight... Happy Camper. Literally!
