Comment on Staying for the week at an AirBnB in Rochester, MN. This is what I just found out I'm stuck with.

Going through Airbnb support really isn’t worth it and will take forever. Just message the hosts directly. If you have an Airbnb account you can be added as a guest on the trip by her and message them yourself if she doesn’t want to deal with it.

I do not have an AirBnB account and I don’t think it’s worth creating one just to complain about this, but thanks.

Guess it’s not a big deal to be stuck with this speed then hahaha

The things people will deal with to not talk to a human being. It has probably taken longer to post/respond in this thread than the time it would take to actually solve the problem.

Not a big enough deal for me to do that now that I discovered I can tether my notebook to my phone via USB even though it won’t let me use it as a WiFi hotspot for some reason. Annoying having to cart around both together like that if I want to go to another room, but better than the alternative.

Weird that wifi doesn’t work, maybe it’s 5ghz on iphone and your laptop doesn’t support?
Anyway you could try bluetooth tethering, it could be a bit slower than usb but it’s more convenient, just keeping both in the same room should get good signal. I had no problems on android + linux using
blueman
. I think mint usesblueberry
, dunno if it supports tethering too, but it’s pretty easy to switch from one to the other.
