Just a bit of technical clarification.
The Huawei dongle Mifi does nothing with site wifi, it works by using a mobile phone signal to create a localised private wifi hotspot.
This can also be done with most mobile phones, if your mobile provider allows you to "tether", the in term for the phone turning into a wifi hotspot.
It raises the two points, you need to have brought into an mobile phone provider's scheme an adequate amount of "data", and if using a mobile a right to "tether".
As already said, you can simply buy a standalone SIM containing enough data entitlement.
As a generalisation I would say the sites wifi is hardly worth the hassle chasing, if its viable use it otherwise look after yourself using this data over the mobile phone network. Again a generlisation, remote area mobile data signals through France seem to have better coverage than we have here.
I used for years chase wifi, but have in recent years gone much more extensively to using my phone in tethering mode.
Again as mentioned, streaming video etc hoovers up data so go there with caution if at all, but streaming from site wifi is also a near hopeless dream, there is rarely the bandwidth to support that.
