Where are you going? I did WiFi in Anacortes, Roche Harbor
and Friday Harbor. 4/5 bars. 1-5MBs. I'm using a Fujisu

Do they give you a login password etc or as part of paid morage or did
you just scan around for it?



They have various subscription plans that yield a username and
password (you choose both). I did the three day plan. Use WiFi
scanner for SSID bbx and move to preferred. DHCP of course.

You should then get "connected" and appropriate signal strength.
Bring up your browser and try Google or some other URL. BBX will
come up and show plans, cost and hot spots. Select plan, use
credit card, log in and you are connected. Worked great.

I block pop-ups so I logged off using http://1.1.1.1

Worked fine--just slow at times regardless of signal strength.
