The WIFI is being worked on by the JIA IT staff, and is currently not working throughout the campground. A high speed internet connection has been provided by Comcast, and is operating in the office. Additional hardware may be needed to link the old system to the office.
If you have urgent networking needs, such as to manage your bank account, Ronnie will make a PC in his office available to you. Also, Windows users are having some luck connecting via the Ethernet cable in the Community Room.Other open WIFI locations have been reported at the Conference Center in the historic district, Fins on the Beach, and Red Bug Pizza.
The faster Internet connection should eliminate the bottleneck going in/out from the Campground, and service will improve significantly when the setup is complete. However, don't set you expectations too high... we don't expect that there will be enough bandwidth to have a bunch of folks streaming movies all at the same time. Perhaps a better expectation will be to have service like what's been available at 3 AM on the old system. That should support reasonable web browsing and voice Skype. If we get more, all the better. Also, while the Internet connection will be faster, all of the limitations inherent in the WIFI hardware throughout the campground are still there.
