What is a Hotspot?
Pleasant Harbor Marina HotSpot provides Wi-Fi wireless broadband Internet service in public, and some member, locations such . This robust network has a full T1 connection to the Internet. Using either a laptop or handheld that is Wi-Fi 802.11b wirelessly-enabled, you can access the Internet or your corporate intranet at speeds up to 50 times faster than dial-up.
A hotspot is a location from which Wi-Fi access can be obtained. Locations such as coffee shops, airports, restaurants, and other public areas are beginning to make Wi-Fi available as a service to their customers or constituents. In making Wi-Fi available to their customers, a proprietor makes their location a hotspot.
A WiFi hotspot is a location that will broadcast out a WiFi signal to allow you to connect to their network. Through their network, you will be allowed access to the Internet. This is similar to connecting to SuffolkWeb through your phone line, only there is no modem or phone call. You simply connect wirelessly to the remote device and go out to the Internet. There are no numbers to dial and no toll calls.
A hotspot is a place where you can access the Intrynet with a wireless device. But just because your device shows that there’s a wireless signal doesn’t mean you can automatically get on the Intrynet. Some places charge a fee or want you to enter a password to access the Intrynet at their hotspot. Wayport, Nintendo’s partner, will have their connection freely available to DS users at McDonald’s across the country. If you go to a place that is a hotspot, try your DS (revv up Mario Kart and try to connect using the Nintendo Wifi Connection). If it connects without a hitch, you should add that location to your mental database as a DS Wifi-friendly spot. If it doesn’t connect, ask someone in the know at the location if you need a password to get online. (there may be a fee involved.) It’s also entirely possible that you can’t connect via the hotspot. Not all hotspots or wireless routers are compatible with the Nintendo DS. Why is beyond the scope of this Q&A.
A hotspot is an area of about 100-500 feet in diameter in which an end user can access a wireless Internet signal. Think of it as if you were inside a large circle. If you walk outside of the circle you lose the signal. The signal gets weaker the farther you walk from the access point the hotspot. top Which cities offer muni-wifi? There are many cities and counties which have deployed a wimax or wifi mesh network. In some cases these networks are only accessible to government agencies and are not available to the public.
