Wireless Internet

[TosaTrio]

I would love to have the internet connection wireless in my 1BR at VWL. I have read that some people bring routers that enable them to connect more than one laptop and be connected wireless.

How does this work and what do I need to bring with me (besides my laptop )?

Thanks for your help!

I purchased a small travel router from D-Link. I think the cost was around $40-$50. Instead of plugging your laptop into the outlet, you connect the router to the outlet and plug in it's power source. Search for the wireless signal on your laptop then log on. All of this is very simple, much like getting onto the wi-fi at a restaurant or motel and we have used 3 laptops in a 2BR with no issues. Be sure to read the instructions for the router you purchase, especially about making it a secure connection.

Make sure that the router is a "wireless router"! If you just bye a plain router it will not work. Also, set it up and use it at home so you know how it works before you get to Disney. It is easier to get help at home than when you are on vacation.
