Wireless technology is improving every day and consumers are facing an increasing array of options and services.
Want a better Wi-Fi experience on the road? The two keys are a long-range Wi-Fi card and a Wi-Fi travel router. With a long-range card, you can connect to even the weakest hotspot signals, and maximize throughput. With a travel router, you can unwire your hotel room, or even set up a temporary Wi-Fi net at your parents' house during the holidays. Read on for our top five tips for the wireless traveler.
1. Finding Hotspots on the Road
Question: How can I find a hotspot when I can't get online to search for one?
Answer: While JiWire's online hotspot locator is the most powerful way to search for worldwide hotspots, there are several ways to take it with you, as well. The Portable Hotspot Locator comes in PC, Mac and AvantGo versions. You can also search for hotspots on your browser-enabled cell phone, at wap.jiwire.com.
Whichever way you go, you can filter the Hotspot Locator for free sites, as well as for a number of other useful parameters, such as service provider and location type (airport, hotel, cafe, etc.). JiWire's provider comparison page shows rates for all major Wi-Fi service providers.
Finally, frequent flyers won't want to miss our airport Wi-Fi guide, which includes a complete listing of major US and Canadian terminals with Wi-Fi.
