How to get a room upgrade at hotel check-in in Egypt and what does Wi-Fi cost?

TL;DR
Room upgrades (e.g., to deluxe) are usually offered at reception for an official extra fee, though some travelers tip the bellboy directly to negotiate one. Wi-Fi is typically paid, around $1/day, works hotel-wide but signal is often better on the balcony than inside the room.
What the community said
If the room is fully paid, the hotel must check you in. Wi-Fi costs about $1/day, works almost everywhere on the property, though the signal is weaker inside the room than on the balcony.

Free upgrades are rare — reception has an official price list for moving to a deluxe room, and you pay the hotel's set rate for the upgrade.
