I have a friend that is picking up the Wi-Fi signal from a neighbor from her 802.11g laptop.
There is no security on the neighbor's signal.
Her husband just bought her a Palm TX which has 802.11b and she wants to but can't connect.
Could she pick up a 802.11g (that also supports b) access point and connect from there.
I have advised her that they could (and should) turn on some kind of encryption and the party is over. I have further advised her that the legality of what she is doing is questionable; that if I were her and had a good relationship with the neighbor I would ask to piggy-back. I also told her that a good neighbor might tell them that they need some security.
We'll see how THAT part plays out.
