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.

Wi-Fi is a popular topic when lodging comes to mind. A lot of people choose to use the facility's network connection instead of using all of their cell phone's data, especially if they have to pay for it or it is limited. Wi-Fi is free most of the time, especially if the facility is featuring as an amenity. When you use the lodging facility's computer network connection, you can save money on your cell phone's data usage.

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.

Your wireless connection in the lodging facility may be free, but there may be underlying print you need to consider. The network connection that is offered may have limited access. When a network is limited, many different websites may be blocked. You may be prohibited from checking your social media accounts and accounts that are similar.

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.

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.

A lot of Wi-Fi networks that are offered by lodging facilities are not secured. An unsecured network can be a threat if you are concerned about privacy. A public network is not private and used by many people. It will be easy for someone to access your personal information once you are connected to the public network. This is one instance where your cell phone's data may be best to use.

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.
