Beneficial Hotel Internet Facts For Future Reference

By Abra G. Konigsberg


Whether you are traveling a long or short distance, you may want to take advantage of different lodging options. One popular amenity for lodging is hotel internet. Free Wi-Fi has become a necessity instead of a perk over the years. People use Wi-Fi to keep in touch with their friends and family while they are away and stay in touch with work.

Whenever you can, you should use Wi-Fi. A lot of people are in the habit of using their cell phone's data instead of using an internet connection that may be free. When you use the available Wi-Fi, you do not have to worry about data and data roaming charges. Most of the time, the facility's Wi-Fi is public, so a password is not required for access.

In-room wired connections are an option in some lodging facilities. Wired connections or ethernet connections are sometimes faster and more reliable than wireless connections. Some people are not fond of wireless connections because they believe they are sub-par, but this is not entirely true. Ethernet connections can be used with many devices, including laptops, desktops and Chromebooks.

Some free wireless networks offered by a lodging facility have limited network access. Sometimes, there is fine print you should read that pertains to the facility's network connection. Limited access may be an issue if you are trying to access popular network sites, such as social media and websites that have similar characteristics.

There can be a lot of hidden terms and conditions when it comes to free world wide web access. The amenity that is featured may be a free computer network, but you have to pay a initial fee to access this feature. The feature is generally no more than $15 and it is a one-time fee. Once you pay the one-time fee, you will be given the security key to the network for the duration of your stay.

Some lodging facilities have a slow internet connection. There are many different reasons there would be a slow network connection. Some lodging facilities have a wireless network connection that is excellent in one part of the facility and terrible in other parts. This happens because some lodging rooms are closer to the network access point than others.

Many lodging network connections are not private. This means any information you provide, especially personal, is not protected on an unsecured network and just about anyone can access your information. There are a lot of lodging facilities that offer wired internet in their lobby, but it is still over a public network that does not require a keyword and your personal information can be obtained by someone else.

People stay in hotels many times throughout the year and enjoy using the facility's Wi-Fi. There are some times where using Wi-Fi is great and other times where using your phone's data will be a better choice. Before you connect your phone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device to the facility's network, think about these few instances.
