Testing Google WiFi in Mountain View

Katie Fehrenbacher of GigaOm has been selected to be a beta tester of Google’s Mountain View WiFi network; “I’m not sure if it was a random invite or not, after writing a bit about Google’s Mountain View plans, but I felt like a lucky golden ticket winner with a trip to the chocolate factory!

So I’m posting this from Rengstorff Park in Mountain View and the connection is pretty good: between 2 and 3 bars out of 4 on my Mac. Works well enough from here. I might drive around a bit and follow the nifty map that Google set up and update this post later. I won’t divulge how to get onto the network, but trust me it’s a no-brainer, even though right now trusted testers can’t see the SSID number.

Nice post from Katie with screenshots and inside info on Google WiFi.
