Hospitality WiFi Solutions
Better Guest WiFi. No Monthly Room Tax.
Since 2003, CheckBox has helped hotels, motels and resorts deliver high-speed connectivity that keeps guests happy and operations running smoothly.
The Integrated Advantage
Most WiFi providers piece together hardware and software from different companies, leading to compatibilty and setup complexity along with "finger pointing" when issues arise. CheckBox designs the software and manufactures the hardware together. This means your guest portal, bandwidth management and access points are engineered to work as one seemless ecosystem.
Protect Your Bottom Line
Your property's technology should be an asset, not a perpetual expense.
- Zero Licensing Fees: Unlike other providers there is no "per-room" monthly fee or mandatory licensing.
- Own Your System: You own your hardware outright. No long term contracts, no hidden "Maintenance" agreements.
- Lowest TCO: By designing, coding and manufacturing the entire system and eliminating recurring costs costs, CheckBox provides the lowest Total Cost of Ownership in the hospitality market.

FAQs
What is the best Wi-Fi solution for hotels?
We believe the best hotel Wi-Fi solution is purposefully designed to give the property control over guest access, bandwidth usage, and network performance. A properly managed system should be able to support guests, staff, and property operations while maintaining reliable service during peak occupancy periods.
Why is hotel Wi-Fi often slow?
In our experience, hotel Wi-Fi is usually slow because the system is outdated, poorly maintained, or wasn't designed for today's usage demands. Guests now stream video, attend virtual meetings, and connect multiple devices at once, which puts much more strain on a network than it did years ago.
How can hotels improve guest Wi-Fi coverage?
We typically recommend evaluating access point placement, upgrading older equipment, and ensuring the network is designed for both current and future demand. Many properties simply don't have enough access points to provide consistent coverage throughout the building.
How much internet speed should a hotel provide?
As a general guideline, we like to see 20 to 25 Mbps available per guest room whenever possible. At a minimum, many properties should target around 10 Mbps per room, depending on the type of guests they serve and the activities taking place on the network.
Can hotel Wi-Fi support Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services?
Yes. When the network is designed properly, hotels can support streaming services for guests throughout the property. Many hospitality businesses are replacing traditional cable systems with streaming-based entertainment that runs entirely over the network.
How do hotels separate guest and staff Wi-Fi?
We accomplish this through virtual networks. A single infrastructure can support separate networks for guests, staff, security cameras, televisions, building systems, and other connected devices while keeping those systems isolated from one another.
What is a captive portal?
A captive portal is the welcome page guests see when connecting to Wi-Fi. It allows a property to authenticate users, display terms of service, request room numbers, or provide customized access before a guest joins the network.
What causes hotel Wi-Fi dead zones?
Dead zones are often caused by poor access point placement, insufficient coverage, outdated equipment, or network designs that don't account for the layout of the building. In some situations, too many improperly configured access points can also create interference.
What should hotels look for in a Wi-Fi provider?
We believe hotels should work with a provider that understands hospitality environments and the unique demands they create. Hotels experience fluctuating occupancy, heavy guest usage, and a variety of connected systems that require careful planning and ongoing support.
How can better Wi-Fi improve hotel reviews?
Guests rely on Wi-Fi for work, entertainment, communication, and education. When the network performs well, guests are more likely to enjoy their stay, leave positive reviews, and return in the future.
