Site Wi-Fi Coverage and Internet Speed
We have invested in our Wi-Fi service to increase the bandwidth, and improve the reliability and speed of our Wi-Fi which extends across the Park. The speed of the internet connection is dependent upon the number of users trying to use the service at the same time.
Regardless of the fact that we have increased our bandwidth, because multiple guests may be accessing the internet consecutively, the Wi-Fi will be slower than in your own home. As a consequence our Wi-Fi supports basic web surfing and emails but cannot support video or TV streaming e.g. BBC iplayer and YouTube, FaceTime and Skype or any computer updates.
To achieve the best signal/speed ideally a line of sight to an antenna is desired. We try to make the Wi-Fi available 100% of the time though signal and speed is effected by the outdoor environment. We are exposed to the same failures you may see at home.
How to connect to Wi-Fi
A customer first has to connect to the GUEST Wi-Fi network by searching for a signal on their device. Once a Wi-Fi signal is obtained, they then open a browser. This presents a login page where the customer enters the password (this will be given to them at reception with the individual site plan or caravan details). This password will also need to be entered in a second ‘box’ when asked. Once they have entered the password twice and ticked the terms and conditions, they will be allowed access to the internet to browse websites, send and receive emails etc.
How secure is it?
Caerfai Bay Caravan & Tent Park Wi-Fi is the same as any open access Wi-Fi received from hotspots (for example in cafés/pubs). Open access Wi-Fi is open and insecure therefore we recommend you take some basic steps to protect your device and your information:
- Install robust and updateable anti-virus software and personal firewalls.
- Ensure that your device is password protected.
- Don’t leave your device unattended in a public place, and lock it if necessary.
- Be careful not to leave your credit card details exposed.
- Only enter any personal banking details once you know the website is secure (look for the padlock symbol on your browser and click on it to confirm the site is secure).
- Use a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) if connecting to a work network.
