Well, that would work for ensuring a good connection after we have one. I want to avoid broadcasting an insecure network from each of the kiosks. Remember that the need is for us to be able to connect to the LAN on location without plugging in (we can't guarantee that the locations have wifi or 3g access or a place for us to plug in a router - unless we install it ourselves with the kiosks.) Also, a hidden network is not a viable solution for multiple reasons, mainly because osx also does not have that capability (ad hoc).
A more detailed explanation is that we don't own anything on location except the hardware that is in the kiosks. We need to be able to go as technicians to work on our computers, without having to plug an extra router into their on-site network or take the kiosks apart to get to the computers. We do most of our work remotely through logmein hamachi and SSH - but we need an on-site solution that doesn't require physical tinkering.
Thanks and hopefully that clarifies my issue.
Submission + - Ask Slashdot : More Secure OSX AdHoc networking? 2

I've been poking around on the internet for some more secure way to create an ad-hoc network from osx than WEP 128bit. I know that it's not built into the OS from what I understand, but is there a way to simulate dd-wrt in a virtual environment to allow for this? Maybe another piece of hardware (a tiny router)?
Basically, I need to be able to connect to enclosed kiosks from an external computer where there is no wifi, and no way to connect to the network. This is also a place with no guaranteed 3g/4g connection. However, each of the kiosks is wired and connected to the internet so the airport on each is available. Any help would be much appreciated.
