Wi-Fi

The West Linn Public Library offers wireless access building-wide. Access is free and no passwords are required. Users must agree to an acceptable use policy when connecting to the network.

We encourage users to take precautions when using any public hotspot, as wireless access is accessible and open to anyone in the library. This means your transmissions may not be secure. Virus and security protection is the responsibility of the patron.

Most wireless enabled laptops come automatically configured to pick up the wireless signal and you won't need to change any settings. You are responsible for knowing how to configure your own equipment. The library is not responsible for any changes you make to your computer's settings, and we do not guarantee your hardware will be compatible with our wireless network.

Check that the network settings for your card are set to "obtain an IP address automatically." 

Parents are responsible for supervision of their children's Internet sessions.
