Ah, well that'll be how they got into Hilton hotels then. The company is based in Watford, which is also where Hilton's international HQ is. Probably they sent a salesman round to knock on the door. :D

Hi guys - first post - hopefully the first of many.

Starting with a question:
What is a model / make of unit that can wireless connect my laptop - with the restrictions given below ?
===================
My (company) laptop is locked so I cannot use a usb or card modem and has no direct wireless capability.
In hotels (e.g. hilton, moevenpick ) I've accessed the hotel wireless net via an external interface provided by the hotel. This consists of a unit with two cables; one is a USB to get power only and the other plugs into the network (? RJ45) socket of the laptop.
With this activated I can then log on to the hotel's net (usually swisscom) using a time limited password bought from reception.
===================
Thanks for any help

Try this..

It is USB powered, connects via Ethernet and can act either as a Wireless Access Point (for providing Wireless access to an existing Ethernet network) or as a Wireless card (for accessing a wireless network)

You can buy single units at Ã‚Â£55 excluding VAT (I think) and shipping costs.
