We will be staying in a 1BR Garden/Pool room. This is only our 2nd stay at BW - the first was in a studio. Where is the internet connection located in a 1BR? The different resorts seem to put them in different places and would rather not spend time playing hide and seek looking for it Sunday. ;)
 
At BWV the internet connection in all of the 1 bedrooms is near the dining table.
 

I was at BWV last week in a 1 bedroom and it was between the couch and the dining table. I brought my wireless router from home and hooked it up so my friend & I could be online at the same time, plus she used her I-Touch, worked like a charm!
 
The 1 bedroom I was just in, the connection was between the sofa and the end table with the lamp on it.

Speaking of those boxes.... Aren't they about the dumbest design? Having the connctions up underneath where you can not see what you are doing is frustrating.

Hi, Laura,
This is interesting. I have seen what LOOKED like an internet connection box near the lamp table. In fact I plugged the ethernet cable into it but it did not work. THen I found the one near the dining room table and it did work. I wonder if some rooms have 2 for some reason and the one I was in had a malfunctioning one. When we are there in a few weeks I will be doing some investigating. Thanks for posting this!

You are on the right track. Last year we were in a 1 bedroom at Boardwalk - standard view bottom floor close to the parking end. After calling the tech just to get one working port, we were able to have 2 by going through the black box. You will need a second ethernet cord also to use both. Now, I am not sure that this is the same in every room, but I AM sure that we were able to use more then 1 of our three laptops at one time on that trip. Usually this is not an issue for us as we are not online that much and just share one at a time.

In my room, there was both. I used the connection without the box by the dining table.
