The first thing you need to decide is whether your hotel needs WiFi frequency, which is either 2. You may want to consider 5GHz WiFi if your hotel has a separate business suite for guests.
A hotel with more than two rooms is considered a large hotel. Table of contents 1. The wireless network name and password can be found at the front desk. You can view the wireless networks by opening the Wi-Fi settings. If you already have high-speed broadband Internet service at your house, it's pretty easy to create your own home wireless network.
Commonly known as Wi-Fi , a wireless network allows you to connect laptops, smartphones, and other mobile devices to your home Internet service without an Ethernet cable. To create your own Wi-Fi network, you'll need a wireless router. This is the device that will broadcast the Wi-Fi signal from your Internet modem throughout your house.
Your Internet service provider ISP may offer you a wireless router for a small monthly fee. If you've never set up a Wi-Fi network before, this may be the easiest option.
If you want to buy your own router, we'd recommend spending a little more time researching different options. Some Internet modems may already have a built-in wireless router, which means you won't need to purchase a separate one. If all goes well, you should be able to begin a wired connection, just as you did when confirming an active Internet connection.
In some cases, ISPs offer customers gateways with built-in routers. In most cases, these combined devices are not built for business environments, nor do they have extra ports, security, and other options that allow you to add services and expand networks as the business grows.
You may need to contact your ISP for help with this step. First, turn off the gateway. If there is already an Ethernet cable plugged into the gateway's local-area network LAN port, unplug the cable and plug it into your router's WAN port. Turn the gateway back on and wait a few minutes for it to boot up. Plug in the router's power supply and turn it on, again waiting a few minutes.
The easiest way to continue with router setup is to use a mobile app if the router maker provided one. If there is no app, or you'd rather use the router's web-based dashboard, connect the router to a computer via an Ethernet cable. You might find the router's IP address printed on the back of device itself; if not, type To configure the router, you'll need to log in, using its default admin name and password. You can usually find this information printed on the router itself, or in an accompanying user manual.
Next, enter the required credentials. Once you're in, you should immediately create a new username and password. The defaults are usually something like "admin" and "password," which are obviously not secure—so make sure to change them at the first opportunity.
Your router may need an update of the "firmware," or software that operates it. Update it as soon as possible, since the new firmware might fix bugs or offer new security protections. Some routers may download new firmware automatically, but many do not. You may need to check for updates through the app or the browser interface.
