~~~~~~~~~~~

     I have discovered a Wireless Internet extender that is compatible with the 2Wire 2701 series router; that is most commonly used router in our area of Mexico. So what does that mean, great question and I'm glad you asked. If you have difficulty receiving a WiFi signal in the far reaches of your home, that means you have a couple cement walls with either rebar or metal mesh. Both will greatly reduce how far your WiFi signal will carry. If you are trying to tap into your neighbors WiFi (with permission of course), an Extender will help that one bar signal jump to 4 bars. The problem with most extenders is finding one that is compatible with the chip set in the main router (2Wire 2701). The Netgear WN300RP solves that problem, amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-Universal-WN3000RP-Wi-Fi-Extender/dp/B004YAYM06/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334275410&sr=8-1 I recently acquired one, installed it and it works just fine. Follow the installation instructions closely and you can easily pump up a signal across 100' and through two walls. The unit is not certified for exterior use, but it doesn't rain much here and you can protect it from the sun. Here is a link to the manual and detailed product description: http://support.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/18167
     I finally have an Internet Security Camera up and running, Foscam F18918w. I can view and control the camera from anywhere in the world from my computer, Ipad or Android phone. It could be used outdoors in a very protected area. If you're a geek, you can get the Foscam up and running. For the faint of heart, I have ordered a camera from "dropcam.com". The company promises an easy two minute setup and that it will work from a Mexican IP address. The DropCam is for indoor use, I intend to set it in a window. I will report on the Drop Cam as soon as it arrives.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

a.  I asked via BPE about who has the best US cell phone for use in Baja. So many responded "AT&T Viva Mexico Plan". Thanks to all for the help.

b.  Great little shop, It's for You on Hwy 1 by the new Pemex. Dresses, tops, shoes and more. Fashion forward, nice sales girls, offering good prices. Clean, with modern displays. A fun place to shop without going into the bigger cities. Support your local merchants!  Julie & Jillian

c.  I met the author of this book here in Los Barriles - it is hilarious - particularly for those of us who are RVers. I highly recommend it and it is definitely cheap enough. If you have a kindle or an ipad you can easily download it from Amazon.

ROAD REPORT

a.  Left LB on Monday April 9th for San Ignacio solo in a pick-up pulling a 10ft enclosed trailer. Roads were all clear with no construction, made great time, stayed in San Ignacio at the Hotel Posada (455 miles, 9 hrs). Day two, once again roads were all clear, no active construction probably due to the holiday, Military checkpoints were the usual bogus stuff. I crossed at Tecate at 7pm and there were only three cars in front of me (538 miles, 11 hrs). Notes: The big cut above Santo Tomas in 90% complete, hope they take some erosion control measure or it will be washed out in 2 years. Despite reports that the road from Ensenada to Tecate is finished are not true; they have quite a bit of work to do. There is about 20 miles that they have not even touched yet but I did see some survey markers. It was my best trip north bound ever. Be safe! Diego Ricardo Jiménez Mendoza d.flood316@gmail.com .

b.  Just arrived in Reno after 3 days on the road. Most of the road was fine except a stretch north from LA Bay to 10 miles north of Catavina. Road w/ huge potholes and a surface lake a cheese grader. I could feel the rubber being removed from the tires. No problem with the Fed Inspections. No problem with the cops. Crossed at Tacate but border closed at night and opens at 5 am. One hour time difference from Baja time. Some road work on Hwy. 2. Michael Babcock

QUESTIONS
