They could have 120gb fibre installed but if MF has checked in he'll be downloading the entirity of Xhamster to his new laptop. A mifi device protects the unsuspecting traveller from such trauma.Comment

Let's be honest here. Wireless is pretty rubbish. Even in a good spot, the signal strength varies wildly from second to second. Right now you can stream a movie. In 15 seconds ? Not so much. I have 2 access points in my very small house and it is still barely adequate. The technology is just a bit of a toy.
I'm a cable guy. Let the data flow!
But on topic, the hotel network is likely saturated by guests all streaming and surfing. Perhaps you can get a better signal in the bar ? Works with Premier Inns.Comment

You can make wireless a little less painless.
Buy an Alfa Networks AWUS036NHA external wireless card, the antenna on them is already very good
but you can also get one of these

That way you should get a really good signal.
If you want to take it further i use an old netbook running LXLE create wifi hotspot and share it with the wired ethernet adaptor . In turn this is plugged in to a small switch which i connect another laptop, desktop, ps4 and other device.
I have it automatically connect to a B public wifi hotspot and have a small powershell script, that i run as a service/scheduled task, that detects if the connection is alive, if it isn't it will auto login to the bt landing page so the connection stays seamlessly connected.
This is purely for when i am working away, staying in a rented room or hotel.Comment
