Installing wifi at VWL yesterday

[Tarheel Tink]

Please be kind to me but what problems could I run into with a non-secure wifi? I tried forever with my own wireless router from home to no avail with my iPad at Beach Club this past May and finally ended up in the lobby and paying. I am not and never will be tech savvy; it just isn't in me. (hope this isn't a thread hijack!)

We need to start a new poll:

What is your guess:

(a) the new wireless system will be up and running in four months, will work flawlessly, and the signal will be strong and fast.

(b) the new wireless system will be up and running by no later than end of 2014, will have a poor signal, will break down two days after starting operation and will not be operating properly for the next three years.

(c) the new wireless system will encounter at least one major, unexplainable problem hours into operation in that it will send some signal to your computer, iPhone or other device that melts your hard drive.

(d) the new wireless system will result in a huge increase in suicides at WDW because the only internet page you will be able to get is one with Deevy See trying to sing It's a Small World.

Call me a pessimist but I'm going with "d".

Seriously, at Disneyland they have both wireless & wired but when I tried to use the wired the connector was broken. Didn't bother to have them bring a replacement since I could use the wireless. I wouldn't count on always being able to use the wired connections once they consider the wifi to be up & running.

Hopefully it will be better than at DL, the wireless signal at VGC when I was there in May was very weak. Luckily they still had the wired connection. It was a little better at DLH in August but at times it slowed down.
