BLT Grand Villa Internet Access

[donkortajr]

Does anyone know how many and where the connections are for internet access in the BLT Grand Villas?
Also, if more than one connection, can multiple people connect if I bring extra cables?
I really don't want to bring a router and set it up for the small amount of time we will be in the room.

OK, so I just saw that the Top of the World Lounge has WiFi free access.
Since the Grand Villas are immediately below it, does anyone know if that WiFi is accessible from the Grand Villas?

The wi-fi was very spotty for me at TOWL last time I was there

I would bring a small wirelesss router to plug into the wall outlet in the master bedroom to setup your own private wi-fi

I travel a fair amount for business and got annoyed with rooms that only had wired access so searched for a solution. What I ended up getting was a portable pocket size router / wireless access point that we now use everywhere. I am sure there are other units like it but the one I have is a D-Link DWL-G730AP and I believe they are about $40-$50.

I know this is not what you were really looking for but it has been a great solution for me.

If you have any questions please let me know.

I have never been to a Grand Villa (or BLT for that matter). But if I had to make an educated guess I'd say there is probably only one Ethernet jack in each bedroom. So with that, bring one cable for every bedroom.

If you need more laptops of smartphones to have simultaneous internet access, then your only option is to bring a wireless router. I guess you could get a router without wireless but why bother.

They are pretty cheap these days if you sacrifice a little speed. I just looked this one for you:
