LaPeñita RV Park WiFi Do’s and Don’ts The connection we have here in the park is somewhat limited in its ability to handle all the traffic everyone wants to put through it. Unfortunately we cannot increase the bandwidth any more than we already have, so everyone needs to be aware that they are sharing the connection with many other users and refrain from doing things that eat up our bandwidth and make it difficult or even impossible for other users to connect to the system. Here are some Do’s and Don’ts: Do’s Do feel free to use the system for sending and receiving your email. Do feel free to use the system to do your online banking. It is as secure as your connection at home, so don’t worry about that aspect.
Do feel free to use the system for web browsing, but please try not to click on sites that will bring up videos etc.
Do feel free to use the system for phoning using Skype or any other Voip software. Please be reasonable and limit your calls on this because it is a bit of a bandwidth hog; however, this is one of the things we want you to be able to do. See below about leaving your computer on for incoming calls.
Do feel free to send pictures to your friends and family, but please download and use a great little free program called Picasa (http://picasa.Google.com/). It shrinks the size of your picture files when you email them and uses less bandwidth that way.
Do feel free to use MSN Messenger or other similar programs to chat with your friends. But see below about using webcams with these services. Don’ts · Don’t use peer to peer connections (Bittorrent, Limewire, Gnutella etc) for downloading videos, music, movies etc etc etc. It absolutely murders our bandwidth. No exceptions. · Don’t try to watch streaming video or listen to streaming audio. We do not allow you to watch TV or listen to radio broadcasts on your computer. No exceptions. · Don’t upload or download big picture files…..use Picasa as mentioned above. · Don’t use webcams. Many laptops now have built in webcams that can be used with MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger etc. Please turn yours off and don’t use it, and have your contacts turn theirs off as well so you are not receiving their broadcast. · Don’t leave your computer turned on when you are not using it. No exceptions. If you are using it for things that don’t require the wifi connection, please disable your wireless adapter. · Don’t leave your computer turned on so you can receive incoming calls if you have that kind of service with Skype or Vonage etc. No exceptions.. Let your callers leave a voice message and you can call them later.
