The older man that runs the park said he had all the cable & conduit installed because back then everyone was crying for it. Now they all cry for that dang wireless.
So you weren't joking? He actually does have Ethernet connections throughout the park?
He may be smarter than many are giving him credit, as he can setup wireless AP routers versus wireless repeaters? And not suffer the network speed loss associated with using single radio repeaters.
Though using a wireless repeater may result in a loss of 50% or more in network speed, that doesn't necessarily mean that your speed to the Internet will suffer. It depends on your access speed in the first place and the hardware. In fact, I suffer virtually no loss in speed from my Internet connection when using an outdated router flashed with DD-WRT firmware for use as a wireless repeater, as my 4G mobile data speeds are fairly low compared to a cable broadband connection.
However, you'll likely see the biggest drop in Net access speeds using a virtual software WiFi router.
