You buy different packages from the only provider there. Usually you can just buy the router off the last guy that was in your clu but the NEX sells them but would probably sell out in the first few days of everyone getting there. If your stressed about getting wifi in your own clu day one id bring a router but there's plenty of places to get free WiFi until you can get a router. I'm actually looking for a guard unit to deploy back with. It was a super easy deployment, easy money, and would like the vacation if anybody can point me in the right direction.

I recently saw a picture showing 2mbps for $506 for 3 months. Do you know if the speed has increased in the last few years or is it this same price and speed?

SPC (Join to see) - its about $275 for three months of 2mbps. If you are a gamer you will need to get 3mbps. that is about $500.

When I was there way back some years lol, they didn't just have wifi but now I'm sure it is like Kuwait where the MWR and different barrack will prob have its own WIFI. I wouldn't bother with a router or Ethernet cable just be a waste traveling with. Have fun in Camp Lemonade lol it sucked back in the day but I'm sure it is a lot better now depending on which branch is running the post now hopefully the Air Force for your sake lol

Most likely an MWR internet cafe which has computer to use. A PC down range is good for watching movies
