[General] New WiFi up for the LAN party!

[Jake Polatty]

I agree, but we may be limited by time and what we have at the shop.  I
haven't really checked to see how easy it will be to get wire to the
tables, but I don't imagine it will be too hard.

Also, the network at the shop really needs some maintenance done on it, but
that will have to be for another weekend.  As to how much needs to be done,
I'm thinking just cleaning and adding some wire should fix some of the
problem we keep having.  If nothing else, I'd just like to clean up the
wiring.  Sorry, but it makes my eyes twitch just looking at it

Hard wire is the only way to go. Just need a single backbone to each table
and a switch
