I've never actually successfully connected to it on Castro Street, although I only ever tried inside buildings. I thought it had been disabled or something, I didn't realize it was just like that normally. :(

You need a "WiFi modem" to use it effectively inside a building.

Do you mean an external antenna with higher gain, and/or an outdoor antenna and internal repeater?
