You use a Mac as your AP‽ Sounds expensive.


I did this in undergrad when the Wifi in my dorm room was abysmal. I used an old Mac mini and hardwired it with the in-room Ethernet and then used the Wifi hotspot mode to make a nice fast wireless network for my roommate and I.

The Mac also pulled double duty as an AirPlay receiver and Plex server. Pretty handy.
