All WDW resorts now have free resort and park WiFi. The ethernet cables are no longer in the rooms. Connection speed and reliability are spotty. I've used the free WiFi at BWI, WL and BLT. I've uploaded photos to Photobucket, posted to the DIS, surfed, e-mailed... basic functions. My iPhone's 3G connection was more reliable. I found that when using our MacBook or iPad, I frequently had to disconnect and reconnect to get the connection moving again and then it was fine. I'm assuming that the more demand resort-wide on the connection, the spottier the service?I understand that there is free Wifi in the rooms at the CR. Is that correct? How reliable and fast is the connection? Will I be able to log in to the office and stay connected to do work? How about downloading a movie to my Ipad? Is there a hard wire connection still available in the room using a cable?
You'll be able to get work done, however, you will most likely experience times when the connection just is too slow to be useful, then you'll have to close out your connection and re-start. Experiment with connecting at different times of the day and in different areas of the resort. Sometimes public areas maintain the connection better than your room.
