A friend of mine is to be admitted as an inpatient for medical treatment

Is it possible to to access Internet while in Hospital using her own personal Wifi access?

[Quizproquo]

no, but she could use her data allowance as long as reception is good.
You have to be within a short range of your router to get a wifi connection.

Is 7.61 miles / 12.24 kilometres too far?

[Quizproquo]

Way too far. It usually only extends a metre or two from your house.

Using a mobile with a data connection should work, as long as mobiles are allowed. You can even set up the mobile handset to act as a WiFi for other devices. It's known as tethering.

I'm in hospital right now and connected to the hospital's guest wi-fi network. Don't know if they all have this now, but it must be worth a quick phone call to find out.
