Leaving for OCW on Monday AM, can't wait!

Please refresh my memory....did I read somewhere that there's wireless internet access in the rooms at the OCW? Last thing I want to do is to bring the laptop, but we have to take care of the business! Thank you. Ken

hi ken

they do have a couple wireless routers around the resort...one at the seaside cafe and one at the front lobby...whether or not you'll get the signal from your room will depend on where your room is...

when we were there last month we got a signal from our room but it was weak and the connection was slow...however we were talking with the manager one afternoon and he was saying they were in the process of trying to get a better signal out so it may be better for you...again depending on where your room is located in reference to the routers...

have a great trip...and remember not to bring the laptop to the beach...especially if the surf is up...lol...

Turksnewby....

We were in the furthest away building in the back on the second floor...we both brought our laptops and at first we couldn't get a connection from inside the condo...but we did get it outside on the balcony..the port is in the bar by the pool!

Although we did get a connection, it was a hit or miss being able to actually "get connected". For some reasons the morning time was flakey at times. My boyfreind is a computer whiz and didn't know what the heck was up!

But for the most part we did have it and if we needed to use it for business and it was down, we'd just go use the ones at the lobby which were moslty free's up when we needed to use them.

We were also able to leave them out on the balconsy since it's so nicely screened and covered...plus we didn't have any rain.

You'll just have to try to find a spot in your unit where you can get a signal!

good luck!

mars
