Traveling

Hi

When traveling, does anyone know some convenient way to find places to stay that don't have WiFi?   Even motels that have WiFi in the lobby but not in the rooms would be great.

I live in California, am real sensitive to Wifi and find I can't stay at the camp grounds or motels I used to stay at because WiFi seems to be everywhere.

WiFi *is* everywhere -- I've stayed in cabins in the forest
that didn't have a phone or TV, but there was still WiFi...

Thanks for sharing your experience, Mark. :)  I was thinking of just such cabins, wondering...

From what I have seen so far on the net, it looks like WiFi router signals normally travel up to 500 feet.   So maybe for me it comes down to finding out which places have Wifi repeaters to boost the signal so it reaches everyone on the premise and which ones don't.

I have a picture, showing reception at 2360 ft. (719m)

The second signal it is receiving (1/2 in upper right) is 1738 ft away.
I believe these Wildblue receivers could be considered "normal" routers.
