Gasthof you will need to use the Gasthof WiFi 'staudnwirt'. This takes you to a login page on a web browser and it will log you out if you stop using it or whenever it
thinks you have been on too long. Get instructions from the Gasthof campsite reception.

A new Wifi device (not a router, just a dual-antennae receiver) is to be used in 2023, pending configuration with the acer aspire laptop, wich we hope will improve everything to how it was in 2019.
