ietf-hotel connection packet loss

[tgondrom@…]

Hi dear NOC team,

it seems I loose a lot of packets and have large latency when using 
ietf-hotel wifi from my hotel room (Alii tower floor 15, room 1514).

As a quick illustration, here three pings I just did to a www, and one 
to a mail-server:

I hope you could help in any way?

Thanks a lot for all your good work making our IETF meetings happen and 
all the best,

Tobias -

I'm sorry for your bad experience so far. I would like to ask you to please re-test your connection, but using the Hotel's own network "hhonors" (if it asks for a coupon code, use "moku"). As both networks (hotel's and ours) are provided through the same infrastructure this gives us a sense of whether it's a problem with said infrastructure or our "backends".

Thanks -

Clemens

PS: If you want it to "just work" I recommend using the wired connection in your room.

PS2: Do you see a little "Box" mounted to the wall in your room, that looks like the one in the picture attached to this ticket?

Tobias,

As it's been nearly two days since we last sent you a response, I'm guessing that things are working well and that you're a bit too busy to respond. I'll be closing out this ticket, but any response will automatically re-open it. If you're still experiencing problems, please let us know how the tests that Clemens asked you to do worked out.

Thanks!
