Hello!

After MadHackerHaus, we noticed that all network traffic at Sector67, wired and otherwise, was being routed through the wireless router. Since it runs a 216MHz processor, this did bad stuff and ended up with about 80% packet loss throughout the day.

I set up a Pentium III 800MHz running pfSense and all traffic is routed by this, except wireless traffic, which is routed by an AirPort extreme and shows up as (I believe) one client to the pfSense router. I think this should be relatively stable, and one being overloaded shouldn't affect the other, but there's only one good way to test this.

Feel free to bring your laptop(s), iPhone(s), iPod touch(es), iPad(s), and everything else and try to browse the web. Hopefully there should be no issues. :)

Thanks
-Will
