Set up in minutes
Getting on Wi‑Fi
- Open your device’s Wi‑Fi settings.
- Select the park’s network and follow the on‑screen steps shown on site or in your accommodation.
- Once connected, test with a quick video or call.
Tips:
- If your device and network offer both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, 5 GHz can be faster at short range, while 2.4 GHz often reaches farther. Choose based on where you are.
- Keep devices updated to the latest OS for better Wi‑Fi stability.
Using the wired connection (Ethernet)
- Locate the Ethernet port in your accommodation.
- Plug in an Ethernet cable from the port to your laptop.
- Most devices connect automatically. If needed, set your network to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).
What to bring:
- Ethernet cable (e.g., 3–5 m / 10–16 ft for flexible placement).
- USB‑C/Thunderbolt‑to‑Ethernet adapter if your laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port.
Practical tips for smooth calls, streaming, and work
- Prioritize Ethernet for live meetings. Plug in for important calls to reduce drop‑outs and keep audio/video in sync.
- Close background apps. Pause large cloud syncs and software updates during meetings.
- Test before it counts. Make a short test call with a colleague to check audio, camera, and screen‑share.
- Download for offline. Queue show episodes, playlists, or work documents to download while you’re relaxing.
- Share the connection smartly. If several people are streaming, plug one main device into Ethernet to balance the load.
- Keep your router‑side tidy. Coiled or kinked Ethernet cables can be unreliable—lay them flat if possible.
