It’s odd to find a hotel that does not provide <\/span>Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> to its guests. In fact, hotels started to offer this service as early as four years after the Wi-Fi brand first launched in 1999. It’s part of hotels’ marketing strategy to interest travelers in staying in their hotels. Travelers, in turn, would highly consider <\/span>free Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> as an excellent reason to make hotel bookings. When a hotel guest checks into a hotel room, one of the first questions to ask is what\u2019s the <\/span>hotel Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> password.<\/span><\/p>\n If you don\u2019t know <\/span>how to deal with hotel Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a>, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’re sharing some methods to help you get a hotel <\/span>Wi-Fi password<\/span><\/a> and connect to the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Usually, the Front Desk staff inserts the password in the key room envelope (typically on the back). However, some hotels leave a card in the guest rooms with the passwords printed on them. <\/span><\/p>\n To avoid non-hotel guests using the Wi-Fi facility, the hotel staff will never give out a password to a person calling from outside. Obviously, they don’t know if that person is the hotel guest or not. Instead, they insist guests make the call from the in-room phone, and they’ll give the password.<\/span><\/p>\n In some instances, it’s possible that the hotel front desk just gives the password orally. But that will not be a good thing to do because guests will certainly forget the password by the time they check into the room. If you ever face this situation, it’s best if you could ask the hotel staff to write it down, or you can always write it down yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n Basically, <\/span>connecting to the hotel Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> is the same as <\/span>connecting to any other public Wi-Fi network<\/span><\/a>. Despite that, we have prepared a step-by-step guide to help you connect to your hotel Wi-Fi:<\/span><\/p>\n You probably need to restart your device if you cannot connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi with the steps above. Restarting it would typically clear up any glitches or bugs appearing in your system. <\/span><\/p>\n In case the hotel only allows you to connect a single device, you can still find ways to use more devices. For instance, you can bring along a travel mini wireless router. It\u2019s not as free as hotel wi-fi, but it\u2019s worth it, especially if you need internet for work.<\/span><\/p>\n Like it or not, <\/span>Hotel Wi-Fi is not secure<\/span><\/a>. While some hotels secure their Wi-Fi with strong <\/span>WPA2 encryption<\/span><\/a>, there are security risks to be aware of. To be safe, you can set up a firewall and keep updating your operating system and antivirus software, to say the least. For extra protection, subscribe to a <\/span>VPN<\/span><\/a> (Virtual Private Network) which can disguise your online presence.<\/span><\/p>\n An increasing number of hotel guests, especially the millennials, like to travel with PS4 and other gaming consoles. <\/span>Connecting your PS4 to the hotel Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> may require some additional steps. Here they are:<\/span><\/p>\nGetting the Wi-Fi Name and Password<\/h2>\n
