wireless internet and the BCV

[Canadian Tom]

Hello: I was wondering if there is free wi-fi internet anywhere at the beach club/BCV? I have an IPad and you can't put an ethernet cable into it. Thanks Tom

Most people bring a wireless router to provide wifi service in their unit, since there is no wireless in the DVC units in DisneyWorld. The wired access in the room is free to DVC members.

For a while, there was free unsecured WiFi in the BC lobby, but according to Teena (BC greeter) they have removed that.

I was there in November and there is no free wireless access in the lobby now.

You would need to bring a wireless router to access internet with your Ipad.

I have an Apple AirPort Express that I take with us. I purchased a refurbished unit from the online apple store and it was $30 cheaper then a new one.

I just recently stayed there and picked up a wireless signal, but it was secure, I tried a few generic passwords, they did not work. I ended up using my verizon wireless card to get a signal because the whole "wired" thing bothers me.

The problem is I have an IPAD and it can't be wired. What an airport express? Do you plug it into the cable and then have wireless? Thanks

Airport Express is Apple's version of a small wireless router - but there are non-Apple ones as well - think they are often referred to as travel routers.

I just left BCV yesterday, and the card in the room that explains how to use the ethernet cable says that they DO have wireless service in the lobby. I have a verizon usb card for my internet anyway, but I did read that on the card in the room

If that's correct (other resorts do have that) - it's fee based - more than the amount that it costs in the resort rooms - and I don't think that would be free for DVC members. It's a credit card based system at the resorts that do have it from what I understand.
