Be a Good Network Neighbor
VSTE and the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center are working hard to provide a robust network for conference attendees. But we need your help. Here’s what you can do: 1. Connect one device at a time: While you may have multiple wireless devices, please only connect one at a time to the network and take a moment to disconnect when you switch to a different device. 2. Don’t set up your own network: When things get slow, it is tempting to use a wifi hub to set up a netowrk. Please avoid the temptation as your mini-network interferes with the larger network. 3. Wait to download and stream: The network is meant for conference-related usage such as checking the online program or chatting on the backchannel. Please resist the urge to download large files or stream movies during conference hours.
Thanks for your help! Be sure to get one of the special ribbons to let others know that you are a good network neighbor!
