Hotspot hunting: Robinson’s Galleria (Ortigas)

Last year, I had a series of WiFi Hotspot hunting stories on Technobiography. I wrote about WiFi in Metro Manila malls and universities as well as a hotspot hunt in Baguio, my hometown.

Many months ago, there was a large billboard at Robinson’s Galleria announcing a absolutely FREE WiFi hotspot at the mall’s “Tech Lounge”. Last week, I finally tried out the hotspot.

The hotspot is available near the back entrance of the Robinson’s Galleria. It can be accessed from the basement, ground level and up to the 2nd level. There are café’s in that area: Bo’s Coffee, Cinnabon and Figaro. The signal reaches other restaurants in the basement, all the way to Thai Kitchen on one side, and Hen Lin and the Mongolian resto on the other side.

And WiFi is truly free. And quite fast.

Well, you’ll eventually have to buy a cup of coffee or a cinnamon roll. Or you can follow my lead, be kapal muks, and help yourself to a seat at a nearby resto during lean hours of the day. Or you could setup at the foodcourt. You can also try sitting on the floor with your laptop, but I suspect you’ll soon be herded away by a security guard.

Suit yourself … then indulge yourself in a WiFi smorgasbord at Robinson’s Galleria, Ortigas.
