If you own or manage a property that you plan on renting out, then you’ll want to think long and hard about your WiFi. One thing people often don’t realise is that accommodation WiFi often has unique requirements – requirements that a standard WiFi setup might not be best placed to meet.
In this article, we’ll be discussing why specialist accommodation WiFi is so useful as well as how our WiFi experts can help provide a tailored experience that’s perfectly suited to your needs.
1. Safe Password Management
The most important thing to consider when setting up accommodation WiFi is a safe system to distribute and update WiFi passwords. Doing so ensures that only people with authorization can access the system. At the same time, you don’t want to make things too difficult. After all, your guests will have more important things to do, they won’t want to spend hours just trying to get a connection.
With accommodation WiFi, you can provide guests with a temporary password that will only work for the duration of their stay. Even better, the system can be fully automated, requiring no work on your end.
2. Sufficient Bandwidth
Estimating how much bandwidth you’ll need can be a tricky thing. As a rule, how much bandwidth you’ll need depends on two factors:
- How many devices will be connected?
- What will people be doing on those devices?
Now, if you’re running a short-stay B&B, then chances are that your guests won’t be running high-octane online gaming sessions complete with video calls and one or two streams running in the background. If you’re managing long-term student accommodation on the other hand, it’s a very different story.
Here at SmartLTD we have lots of experience working with accommodation WiFi for a wide variety of clients. We’ll be able to recommend an appropriate package for your needs that should fulfill all bandwidth requirements without costing you an arm and a leg.
3. Customised to the Space
One last major factor that people often neglect to consider when setting up accommodation WiFi is the physical space. Accommodation can vary a lot and no matter how much money you throw at the problem, the further you get away from the router, the more issues you’ll run into.
This only compounds when you have many devices being used as these can essentially create noise that makes it harder to establish a connection. That’s why it’s imperative to have WiFi extenders set up around the property to ensure full and even coverage.
