Wireless Internet Access

The Lemont Public Library offers patrons free wireless Internet access. The "hotspots" at the library is in the Adult, Childrens, and Conference area of the library. We currently support A, B, and G standards in the Adult area, and the B and G standard in the Childrens and Conference area.
What do I need?:
1. A laptop computer
2. A wireless card (builtin, PCMCIA, or USB)
3. TCP/IP settings set to "obtain IP address automatically"
4. Since it is a "public" environment you will need to check the radio button for connecting to an unsecured network.
5. The connection is behind a firewall, but please make sure to have updated virus protection for downloads.

What if I do not have a wireless card?
A limited number of "wired" connections are available in the study rooms and north alcove of the library.
You will just have to make sure to have your TCP/IP settings set to "obtain IP address automatically".
