I travel to Italy quite a bit for fairly long stay, generally 6 weeks or so.
We mainly use iPads: mine is first generation, my wife's is the latest with a cell SIM. Both have never had problems with wifi where available. I have taken an older Mac Book Pro which had difficulty with the wireless security at one hotel. This was due to not having the latest WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc. This was 3-4 years ago so is likely not a problem now. Just check your wireless security options to make sure they include the more modern WPA, WPA2 .. so you have a good chance of matching their routers. -- Owen On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 8:42 PM, Ron Newman <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a good friend leaving this weekend for a conference in Paris, and > taking her MacBook Pro.
