BSSID: 00:06:25:9B:CF:38

Comments: Both are accessible from the north east parking lot near "the bay" department store. I was able to get access from the bus stop. The APs are in the condo complex across the street.

Note: There is also another AP from the same condo complex called "jones" but I was unable to confirm access. Too many people on channel 6 perhaps? LOL!
