Internet Connection at OKW

[bob_and_mary]

Hi.

I have a couple of questions for the Old Key West experts. First, in the studio rooms, can you tell me where the internet jack is located? And second, I have seen some posts about using a wireless router at the resorts. Does anyone have any feedback on specific routers that may or may not work with the Disney system?

Thanks.

The jack is located near the table and chairs. I've never used a wireless router, but I have seen the Apple Airport router recommended often on the boards.

I just user a old Netgear router I had laying around here. I leave it in my Owners Locker now.

I just got back from a week stay at BCV. I had a D-link router that I took with me and it worked out great. I was able to use the computer anywhere in the villa, and my daughters were able to log on with their Ipod touch. If you take a router, make sure you have it secured or anyone in signal range will be able to get into your computer and network.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I brought both D-Link and Linksys routers to BCV this may, connecting them under the dining table in our studio.

Configured as routers or as access points, it didn't matter. They both worked just fine with our iPod Touch devices.

We also put encryption on both devices before we left home.
