no wireless network in the room

[dromasca@…]

There is no wireless connectivity in the room. Neither my laptop, nor my iphone can see any wireless network.

I am in room 1021 in the Tower building.

Thanks and Regards,

Dan,

Have you spoken with the Hotel's tech support? If you can see hhonors and get the splash page, and yet the ietf-hotel SSID isn't working, we have a problem on the IETF side of things. If not, it may just be fundamental problems with the BT wireless deployment in the guest room area. Have you had any luck with the wired ethernet?

Hi,

No, I did not speak with the hotel technical support. I tried to work from my room yesterday (Sunday) evening, for the rest of the week I am out of my room from 8AM until 11PM, I do not have the time and energy to stay on line with support people at the expense of the few sleep hours. My laptop and my iPhone do not see any of the hotel networks on wireless, it looks to me as a wireless deployment problem indeed. Let me say that such a bad wireless access in the room at the main meeting hotel did not happen at any of the IETF meetings for many years. Luckily, wired Ethernet works, so at least I can connect my laptop. 

Thanks and Regards,

Dan

We have reached out to the hotel and requested that they change the power levels for some of their wireless hardware. Has your ability to connect to the WiFi? in your room improved at all?

I am closing this ticket with a status of pending. We have communicated to the hotel the challenges that we have encountered in the guest rooms and thank you for your patience and understanding.
