Action: Hostfully - Policies - Wifi
Module 9: The Digital House Guide
Wi-Fi in a short-term rental is an expected utility, like hot water, not an optional extra. Guests judge it on speed, whole-home coverage and reliability, and strong Wi-Fi attracts remote workers, business travellers and longer stays. Your digital house manual should explain how to connect, what simple fixes to try if it drops out, and that you will help if problems arise.

Questions people ask
Is Wi-Fi essential for an Airbnb?
Yes. Guests now treat Wi-Fi as a basic utility, and unreliable internet is one of the issues most likely to hurt reviews and repeat bookings.
Should I use the router my internet provider supplies?
Provider-supplied routers are often underpowered for a busy rental, so many hosts invest in a better standalone router to improve coverage and reduce dropouts.
What should the Wi-Fi section of a house manual cover?
How to connect, simple troubleshooting guests can try, and a clear note that outages can happen outside your control but you will assist where you can.
