[Chester LUG] BT WiFi routers

[Les Pritchard]

Sounds like a great product to me! I spent a while with one version of those
routers trying to switch the wifi off completely but it wouldn't let me.
Probably because of the Fusion phone service you mention. Maybe they're
working up to having a system where you can take your home phone out and
about and use it where ever there is a BTFusion spot....Rabbit anyone?!
