A splash screen for the internet portal at a Hampton Inn. The text says:

Well, considering that even their premium wifi will usually only get about 29 Mbps down at the high end, it won’t be super effective.
It doesn’t sound like effectiveness is their goal anyway.
fair enough, I may have a different perception of hotel wifi than the average person due to extensive work travel.
This is basically what I get at home, on average, despite paying for 100Mb/s, because capitalism says you can use the words “up to” when you sell something that will likely never reach that number.
Use a router setup to combine network connections for throughput, setup in a box with solar in motel central, and tada, you’re risking someone else’s connection.
I already use a glinet beryl ax for all my hotel stays- they’re typically 8 weeks at a time so it’s important for me to be able to isolate myself from their standard network.
For anyone else curious:

Looks like it has built in wireguard vpn client support, so you can connect to an external vpn server and route all traffic to it automatically from all your devices.
