LSAir - Fast Always-On Broadband Wireless Internet

Just $30 per month for a fulltime residential
connection! No phone line required.

LSAir's initial coverage area is bounded by Locust
Street and the hospital to the North, Armory Road and Waugh
Drive to the West, Country Club Lane to the East and the
Recreation Center to the South. Some locations within these
boundaries may require an outdoor antenna and/or amplifier.
Some locations outside these boundaries may establish a
connection with an outdoor antenna. The general rule is if
you can see the rooftops of downtown Galax you can get
service. We are constantly adding access points, so call to see if we are in your area!

Client. Of the dozen or so clients we
have tested, the Senao CB3 3054AP and CB5 2611b client have performed the best.

Some close in users have connected with built-in and
cardbus adapters. If your computer detects the SSID Hotspot,
you may already have the necessary equipment. Marginal
connections may be improved with the addition of an
external antenna.

Broadband Router.Most installations
will benefit from the addition of a broadband router. Not only does the firewall help
protect you from hacking attempts but you can connect
multiple computers to a single wireless connection.

Authorization. You will need to supply
the "MAC" address of your wireless adapter. The MAC address
and your user name are needed to send traffic through our
AP. You will also need a password to access the backup
dialup server.
