I fixed my problem, as far as I can tell.
When I first clicked on the list of wi-fi sources, it only listed the name of the "motel" but on my
iPhone, their network service listed two motel wi-fi's, one for the guest. For some reason, when I tinkered with some
things, NetworkManager listed both of the motel's wi-fi. The problem then, was that each read the same
thing, "Bob's Motel." So I assumed the "guest" was the second choice, and "way lah," that worked.
So now my only problem, is that the motel's weak signal that I am getting is too weak.
I seldom update with wi-fi. I always wait until I can find an ethernet connection.
So any suggestions about updating with a weak wi-fi signal. Should I just update one package at a time ?
I did a wireless speed check using the classic-benchmark of P*rnhub, and got choppy results. LOL !
