+Graculus Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 There are a lot out there using routers broadcasting information. Here are the search results for cache name keyword '802.11'.

Deceangi Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 All listed caches (Grandfathered In Virtuals and Earthcaches excepted) are required to have a physical log book, and container. Even the WFI caches mentioned by my esteemed colleague lead to a physical container holding a log book Deci Quote

Its at a relatives house - I bought a cheap wifi router for £4 on ebay, changed the coordinate names and just plugged it in - its not connected to anything on the network side. The cache itself is a bit cryptive in its description though so you either need to be a bit of a techie or do a google search on its title to "get" it. Several don't - and I've had a couple of comments from newbies who "know the area very well" and "couldn't find anything with the coordinates on it". Quote

In each case there are a dozen or so virtual stages where you answer a question on a web page and it takes you to the next page, with the pages being small so they look OK on a tiny screen and don't cost the earth in data charges. The last stage takes you out of the park to the nearby cache. Rgds, Andy Quote
