Atlantis Wifi/Internet

You are correct. You want to share a single Internet connection. Also, be sure to configure your airport prior to purchasing the Internet time and purchase only via your own wireless network.

We were talking about buying an airport express rather than using our old dlink router for travel. What do you mean by configuring it? What do we need to do prior to travel?

If our family each had a device (eg cell phone with internet service, laptop, ipad etc), would the daily internet fee all of us, or just one of us?

PS-is there any location(s) on Paradise Island or in Nassau or at the Nassau airport that provides free wifi.

does that mean like a verizon wireless mobile card?

Outside of the coverage area (ie. the USA) you will have exorbitant fees for roaming using any US based carrier, for voice or data.

I mean, make sure you pay for the Internet while using your airport from your laptop or other device. Do not connect a laptop direct to the Ethernet cable and pay for it, then switch to the airport, as it will then not work the way you want, and you will need to pay again.

Using a wireless router you bring with, you can connect multiple devices for one fee.

I don't know of any free wireless in the area, but I've also never sought it out. Given how Atlantis is operated, anything other than air and gravity seems to have a fee associated with it.

No free wireless at the airport last year that I could use.

What if one wants to access several devices using wifi? Can one get away with paying one fee, only?

Thanks!
I also thought that there was something that needed to be done at home when you first get an airport express, but wasn't sure. Did you do any initial set-up of the router at home? Is there a way to secure it, so that you can do banking or whatever while on the resort network?

We just brought an Ipad and a d-link router to Harborside and the set-up was simple (expect for the fee, of course :-()

Thats a benefit of bringing your own wireless access point.

Sometimes I just reset the airport when I'm there and reconfigure it. It's easy. Any wireless access point like your d-link will work fine.

Ken you seem to be tech savvy. Can I use a verizon mifi or hotspot at harborside to hook up to ipad or iphone or kindle?

According to my brother who went to Harborside in December the airport now gives you 60 minutes of free wifi.

You could, just as if you were in the States. But, you'll pay the exorbitant data charges from Verizon for being out of the country and roaming. It will be considerably less expensive to bring a wireless access point, such as an Apple Airport Express, and pay the Harborside Internet charges.
