• Wireless Network Name = Your choice
• Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g comatible)
• Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal

Click the Internet icon

Power down the Express and connect it to the hotel's ethernet jack using an ethernet cable.

Open your browser to see if the hotel's internet page will appear so you can agree to terms, pay fees, etc.
Once you agree, you should be on the internet and wireless should be working.
