Hi,

I faced the following yesterday afternoon and evening:

kistel@RobertAir:~$ ping kadarka

I'm on the 6th floor, wifi signal was excellent so that's probably not the
reason. IPv6 showed almost exactly the same behavior.

I can spend my evenings with something else than pings :-) I'm just
wondering if this was a known hickup or it's expected to last long.

Cheers,

Robert,

I apologize that the Hotel infrastructure is not performing optimally. I'm working with the Hotel IT department to remedy their wireless deployment to determine what the issue is.

Can you please provide the following information:

BSSID of Associated Access Point:
Your Laptop Mac Address:
Your Room Number:

Thank you for your patience,

[Rick Alfvin]
