That's not a mistype! If Panera's policy of kicking you off after 30 minutes isn't enough, this will seal the deal. I'm convinced that Panera hotspots suck! Two things lead me to the conclusion. Update: May 2015 visit - much better access - still not great.

Screaming Wi-Fi (for a public hotspot) but limited seating. Can get busy during peak hours. Limited access to outlets. Good place to camp with your PC, maybe not so good for a business meeting.

Barnes and Noble is usually a good place to camp out with your laptop. It's quiet for the most part. People treat it like a library atmosphere although a little more noise tolerant. I'm not a big fan of this place for any kind of business meeting. Hotspot access and wifi speed is no problem at Barnes and Noble near the Dayton Mall but don't get caught without a full charge on your device.

McDonalds is an often overlooked wifi hotspot. Not a lot of people in here on their laptops and the speed is great.

Panera, located near the Dayton Mall is used by many Dayton-ites for it's free Wi-Fi. In our eyes, the restaurant is really not that great for Wi-Fi for two reasons.
