Accor, which owns more than 800 Motel 6/Studio 6 locations across the nation said it has begun offering Wi-Fi access to its guests earlier this year.

Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) connections allow public access to the Internet from private and public places such as homes, motels, airports and cafes. Most places offer free Wi-Fi, but some places require that you make a purchase or a log in with a password. Accessing the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection in a motel requires you to enter a public unsecure network versus a private and secure one. This means that information sent back and forth from your laptop may be seen by others connected to the network.

Accessing Wi-Fi with Windows 7

Step 1

Ask the receptionist at the front desk of the motel if there is a security password needed to connect to the motel's wireless network. Write down the password.

Step 2

Turn on your laptop. Locate the wireless network icon that resembles two overlapping computer screens. For Windows 7 users, this icon appears in the lower right corner task bar of your computer screen.

Click the name of the motel's wireless network, which is typically the name of the motel you are staying in, from the list of networks that you pull up. Call the front desk and ask the receptionist what the name of the motel's network is if you can't locate it yourself.

Step 4

Click 'Connect' to gain access to the network. Enter the security password provided by the motel for security-enabled wireless connections. Some establishments encrypt their networks, so only guests can access wireless connection through a security password.

Step 5

Open your Mozilla Firefox or Windows Explorer Internet browser such to gain Internet access and browse the web. Save the security password in case you get kicked off the network and need to sign back in.

Warning

• Avoid sending and receiving personal information such as a credit card or banking transactions when using an unsecured Wi-Fi network because other users on the network can hack into your information.
