Beneficial Hotel Internet Facts For Future Reference

By Abra G. Konigsberg


People stay at many different lodging facilities for many different reasons. Some people are traveling for business purposes and other people are traveling for their leisure, such as a vacation. Hotel internet makes all of the difference in someone's lodging experience. Here are a few great facts you can use while you are traveling.

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.

Some lodging areas feature in-room, wired connections to the internet. Sometimes ethernet connections are better than Wi-Fi connections. Ethernet has it strong points and weaknesses like any other lodging feature. Although you cannot access a wired connection from your cell phone, a wired connection can be used on a desktop, laptop or Chromebook.

Lodging facilities often offer free Wi-Fi, but offer limited access. There may be websites you cannot access due to restrictions placed on the connection. Whether the connection is wired or wireless, there may still be restrictions on the network itself. When there are restrictions on a network, you may not be able to access social media sites and sites that are similar.

Sometimes an internet access fee is charged for the duration of your stay. In most cases, the fee to use the facility's network is no more than $15. The world wide web is a privilege for some lodging facilities and they charge a flat, one-time rate for the time you are staying at the facility. Once the fee is paid, you will have unlimited access to the network.

A slow internet connection can be annoying and frustrating. There are a few different reasons a network connection is slow, but the primary reason is due to the wireless network access point. Lodging rooms that are located centrally to the network access point will have much better signal than rooms that are further left or right of the network access point.

If you have a concern with privacy, you may want to rethink using a Wi-Fi network. Although these networks are convenient in most cases, they are public, which means they are not on a secured network and your private information is not protected. Any information you enter can be accessed by just about anyone. Public networks do not require a pass-code to use and are a lot less safe than secured networks. In this instance, you may decide to use your cell phone's data connection instead.

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.
