Title: Advice needed Laptop WiFi question
Post by: Big_Al on 14 September 2012, 08:00:31: Hi all
This is probably a really simple thing to do but, not too good with computers so need some help .

I am away for the weekend and staying at a hotel that says it has has wi fi availability . So if I take my laptop with me can I get internet access while I am staying there ?

If so what do i do to get online ? :-[ :-[ :-[

TIA :y Al

Speak to reception staff when you check in they will help you :y

All you will need to do is ask at reception for the name and password for the network - they frequently have this printed reday to hand you.

You will just then connect to that network & away you go.

Unless it is 100% free, normally cheaper to tether from your mobile IMHO.
