[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1665628, member: 234411"] Hello - wife & I take frequent trips and carry our Wi-Fi iPads - using Wi-Fi in hotels rooms can be quite frustrating (obviously, you have personal experience) - likely depends on various factors, such as the number of customers sharing the bandwidth, the distance from the emitting Wi-Fi devices, interfering walls & other structures, etc. (I've actually asked a few places to reboot their routers which has helped). Over the years, I have carried a number of different travel routers which can attach to an ethernet cable (hopefully more reliable) and then generate a 'personal' Wi-Fi network in your room - this is ideal if the hotel is charging a fee for each connected device (e.g. a hotel we stay at in Charlotte, NC). SO, if the wired connection is reliable & strong, your Wi-Fi network will be generated by the travel router and should provide a much better wireless signal. My current travel router is shown below, i.e. RAVPower FileHub - check Amazon for further information and reviewer comments - I've used it several times but have not tried to measure download speeds on a hotel's Wi-Fi vs. that offered by the hub (maybe next time I'll test). Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]22431[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
