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.

It is in your best interest to use Wi-Fi whenever it is available if you are currently paying to use data on your cell phone. A lot of people are used to using their cell phone's data connection to check their social media accounts and do other things, but if you have to pay for using your cell phone's data, you can use Wi-Fi which is free. Data and data roaming charges will not be an issue.

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.

There are many things that make a person's lodging experience great, and a wireless connection is one of them. These are just a few things you may want to keep in mind when you are at a lodging facility and using their network. These network tips and facts will keep your information safe and help you enjoy the facility's network better.
