WiFi reception at Bay Lake Tower

[wdwnut76]

Hi! When I stayed at BLT in September 2024, I had very poor WiFi reception in my room.

I will be there again in one month. Has anyone been there lately? How has the in-room WiFi been?

Thanks very much

We just left yesterday. Wifi was great in our room. We had a refurbished 1 bedroom on the 11th floor.

Stayed for a week over Christmas and it was fine, no problem streaming to a fire stick. Must be hit or miss.

One thing I realized last time I was there is that the WiFi appeared to be on the 2.4GHz band only--I had my laptop set to 5GHz only and it wouldn't even see the WiFi until I changed it, after that it worked fine for me, at least to the extent I was using it.

So anyone there who's not seeing any connectivity at all may be able to double-check that. If they are getting connected and it just is terribly slow, well, yeah, the 2.4 band does kind of suck and is tricky to get right in large-scale setups. Hopefully the renovation may upgrade that as well, though it's possible they could just wait until it's all done to switch over all at once (running two networks out of the same building can also be tricky)
