Desert Springs Mancomunidad
Connecting to the Mancomunidad Network
Connection Requirements
To Access the Internet you will require the installation of a router in your property. This is a one-off cost and depends on the type of router you require, simple or sophisticated.
You also have the option of installing a switch - if your property has internet cabling to one or more rooms the switch can make the internet points in these rooms live.
The routers are configured into the Mancomunidad system meaning that owners own routers will not just plug in and work on the network.
The installation cost includes configuring your router into the network.
Internet Capacity
Each property receives an Entry Level Service of 4.5 Mbs of managed bandwidth. You can pay a monthly fee to increase this up to 45Mbps (see purchase bandwidth upgrade):
The Mancomunidad pays for, and manages the bandwidth which is provided by Jetnet into the resort.
Using the System
There are two steps to using the system
- Connect to the network
- Connect to the Internet
The router in your property provides the network. Each device must be connected to this network to use the system.
A device which has not been connected to the router before will require a network (router) password to be entered.
If you are a new property owner you need to request your own personal login and password to access the Mancomunidad network. This is provided by the administrators office.
Unique user ids allows the system software to manage the bandwidth effectively and keep costs down, this involves owners being logged off after a period of idle time. This maximises the use of the bandwidth that the Mancomunidad purchases.
