This means that if you try to use your wireless from the bed you are towards the limit of the design range and may get poor throughput. From the bathroom you are unlikely to get anything. Additionally, these are not particularly high performance APs, and provide a maximum throughput of around 15Mbps even when very close.

The wired ethernet in my room (7th floor) of Hilton still vectors to the hotel captive portal which asks me to pay.

Dave,

Ok, looks like the Hotel folks missed your room. We have a workaround we can do, if you're willing to let one of the NOC folk into your room to remove a "plug" from that switch. Otherwise, we'll make a request to the hotel. We'll need your room number.

Thanks

Joe Clarke came by - all fixed by moving to a different port on the switch.
Thanks!

Glad it's working for you, Dave. Let us know if we can be of more service. I'm closing this ticket for now.
