How to Connect
Since Williamsburg WiFi is a public network, the network name or SSID signal should automatically transmit to your electronic device. If this does not automatically occur, follow the instructions below.
Connecting in Windows

- Set your wireless network adapter’s Network Name (or ESSID) to "WILLIAMSBURGWIFI," or leave blank.
- Configure your network settings to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).
- Launch your web browser. A Login page should appear.

- Start surfing on the Internet!
Connecting using Mac OS X

Connecting using Mac OS 9.x
