If the Connection is “Always On,” am I always being billed?
No. The connection to the network goes dormant after a period of inactivity, but the connection can be re-
established faster than having to reconnect. Billing occurs only when data is passed across the network.
What is WPS?
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) provides a fast, simple, and secure way to connect WPS-enabled devices to
your WiFi network. You don’t have to give the name (SSID) and WiFi password of your network to other
users.
The WPS feature is available on certain cameras, printers, smartphones, and laptops. These devices
have either a hardware button or a WPS-related option in the software. Please consult the user
documentation of your device.
Please see Connect Through WPS.
If a wireless device has a WPS button or a WPS software option, must I use it to
connect with WiFi?
If this is the only way your device provides to connect through WiFi, then you must use the WPS button or
the WPS software option. Some laptops support two methods — a WPS button or software option, and
WiFi network manager software where you can connect by entering the WiFi network name (SSID) and
password, as described in Find and Select the Mobile Hotspot WiFi Network.
Please consult the user documentation of your device.
How do I access my corporate network through a VPN?
Once you complete a wireless connection, you may need to launch an extranet client provided by your
company and supply the appropriate user name and password to gain access. For support, contact your
company help desk.
Are terminal sessions supported?
Terminal sessions (for example, via telnet or ssh) are not supported.
