The wifi in the apartment went down early last week and has stayed down. I've been using the iMac by piggybacking on a neighbor's wifi but it's a very weak and skittish signal and mostly a waste of time to mess with. Using the flaky AT&T air card with the laptop has been close to pointless and mostly futile due to the apartment being located in a weak-air pocket. On top of which the laptop touch pad has Parkinson's disease. The Time Warner guy is finally coming today between 2 and 6 pm. It's been hell.

Can you plug-in to your router? Or directly to the modem? Or is it really WiFi provided by your apartment building, with no physical way to plug in?

I know, it seems like an obvious solution, and one that would be tough to go back to permanently, but one that many people these days wouldn't even think of as a possible short-term fix.
