Recently rejoined the CC - horrified that although AA Caravan Club Wifi comes up on my tablet, I was expected to pay for it!  I would have thought in this day and age, with the high cost of some sites, Wi-fi should be free!

I also use my own set up and if there is a poor or no signal on site I pick up signals on my days out. I only use Club WiFi to access the Club's web site. I f there is a good 4G signal you can stream TV without any problems.

I agree that the CMC on-site staff are unqualified to go anywhere near the WIFI system on their sites. It is a job for specialists.

  Where the overall problem occured is in the planning and implementation stage of the on-site installation.  Obviously the CMC has contracted the job out to the wrong people. Hence the shambles which is now being experienced.

You and many others may feel unqualified to go anywhere near WiFi installations Kennine, but most of us have routers at home and many of us operate equipment depending on our internet installations. We’re very capable of resetting hardware and interpreting lights, quite possibly with remote assistance from a help desk. I’m not sure that wardens, who are perfectly capable of operating ground maintenance machinery, on line booking system and office hardware should suddenly lapse into incompetence when faced with WiFi basic faultfinding. I’m not suggesting that they start to replace circuit boards or climb aerial masts any more than I would expect expect them to replace tractor clutches, power panels or boiler parts. First aid is all that is expected, quite possibly with help desk assistance. While I fully appreciate that some people aren’t practical, I’ve never come across a warden who isn’t. The key point is that by wholly outsourcing WiFi the CMC has created an expensive and sometimes inadequate service.
