Il Wi-Fi non funziona in camera.

The Wi-Fi is not working in the room.

Pronunciation

'Wi-Fi' is pronounced as in English in Italy.

When to use it

One of the most common complaints in modern hotels. Report to reception — they can reset the router or give you a closer access point.

What it means

'Non funziona in camera' — adding 'in camera' (in the room) is important because Wi-Fi may work in common areas but not in certain rooms, especially those far from the router or in thick-walled historic buildings.

Variations

Il segnale Wi-Fi è molto debole.

The Wi-Fi signal is very weak.

A weak signal rather than no signal — ask for a Wi-Fi extender

Non riesco a connettermi con la password.

I cannot connect with the password.

A password issue — reception can give you the correct credentials

Il Wi-Fi funziona in comune ma non in camera.

The Wi-Fi works in the common areas but not in the room.

Specify where it works and where it does not to help staff diagnose

Cultural Note

Italian hotel Wi-Fi in historic stone buildings is notoriously patchy. Thick medieval walls effectively block Wi-Fi signals. Some hotels solve this with multiple access points; others have dead zones. If connectivity is essential for work, always test it immediately on arrival.
