frisco: Lake Kiowa Lodge Goes WiFi
- 10/24/07 12:32 PM
As a proud Lake Kiowa resident I thought I would share exciting news! The Lake Kiowa Lodge has always been a great place to go. But now it is also an Internet Hot Spot. The entire Lodge is now Wi-Fi (802.11G) enabled, courtesy of the Computer Club, which donated the equipment and set it up. That means any PC that has Wi-Fi capability (‘B' or ‘G', most new laptops have this option) will have access to a high-speed Internet connection. We now have the ability to surf and enjoy great food and company!
