Do it yourself Wi-Fi



WiFi your building yourself...it’s cheaper, it’s better.  Don’t get tied into expensive infrastructure and long term debt by a village-wide system

  Each building will need a modem and service from Comcast Business.    Comcast will install a business modem/router in your laundry room.  Call    Fred King from Comcast, at 561-221-9718 for this.
     
  You will then need two routers installed in the low rise associations.  You can install it yourself or for information or installation, call John at 1-480-232-3936.  He has successfully wired other buildings in the village and they are working well.  The usual cost for the low rise buildings is between $900-$1200 including labor and equipment.  This is a one-time cost.  The monthly cost from Comcast is $120 for the building.  In a 24 unit building that amounts to $5. per unit.  Mentioning the Messenger Club to Comcast will save you the first month’s fee from Comcast.

  If you make it a common expense and put it in the budget, it can be paid with your maintenance payment.

  High rise buildings will be at a higher installation fee and John can advise you after inspection of your building.

  If you need to talk to someone that has a successful building WiFi, call John and he can refer you to “happy customers”.

  If you decide to go this route, you will need to “Opt out” of the Village-wide system and your letter needs to be sent to UCO before the budget for 2015 begins in January.  A sample is attached on the back of this page.

  Don’t listen to those who do not want you to do this.  Buildings that have completed their WiFi are getting good service and like what they have and will not be a part of a hugh debt for infrastructure for a village-wide system.


 You can still opt out of UCO’s WiFi even if you do not want any WiFi for your building.

  3. David Israel, is as usual, full of lies, misinformation and scare tactics. He CANNOY cut off anything. This is not one of the required common elements of the Village and just as associations opted out of the recommended insurance company, despite the fact that insurance is required, and chose to go legally with another, so too can an association here opt out of the Village proposal and its costs. This is NOT a common element. Not only that, any disagreement here MUST, by our bylaws and bilateral agreement be mediated before anything decision or action is made or taken. Same old same old from the same old liar.
