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 !

With offline-upgrade running, packages download faster while guests who watch videos
are asleep.  It usually helps to improve signal strength with a better antenna or better
placement of the existing antenna.   A small change in antenna location can make a big
difference.

I have had problems upgrading over very slow and intermittent connections when new
packages became available before last week's upgrades were finished downloading.
