Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do we get on the WiFi?

The house WiFi network is called “Winterfell”. The network password is “spartanlions”. All one word and lower case. If you need to reset the router it is located in the family room behind the TV.

Where and how do we make coffee?

We have two coffee makers. One is a Keurig K-Cup and the other is an expresso machine. You’re welcome to use either. There should be coffee in the kitchen already, but there is more in the pantry. Please use the purified water in the dining room for the coffee makers. The water in Big Bear is very hard and will leave calcium deposits inside the machines.
