Finding a Hot Spot

Saturday March 21, 2009
Guide Picks - Before you plan your next business trip, an important factor to keep in mind is where you can find a hot spot. You don't have to rely on finding only coffee shops that offer wireless Internet access either. There are plenty of public locations which include libraries that offer wireless access and provide you with more privacy. I've listed some of the best ways to find a hot spot - no matter where you may be traveling.

If you've never used a hot spot or just want a refresher on how to set up your laptop to use Wi-Fi, you can review this tutorial on creating a wi-fi connection. Some hot spot providers will have some of the information that you need including the hot spot SSID on their web site so that you can keep a record of this information and have it ready when you create your connection. To ensure that you are thoroughly prepared, review these questions about hot spots that are most often asked.

Share with us what your favorite hot spot locations are and how often you use them. What sets apart your favorite hot spot from others?
