Go Wireless with our Surf Lakeland Hotspot!

Basic Configuration Guide

Florida Southern College is now a part of the Surf Lakeland Hotspot. Bring along your laptop with an 802.11b Wi-Fi card or your Wi-Fi equipped PDA, and browse the Internet for FREE with our downtown Internet hotspot!

Getting connected to our downtown hotspot is simple.
In fact, on newer devices (like laptops with Windows XP or PDAs with PocketPC 2003) little configuration is required. Once you have gone through this simple configuration, open your Internet Explorer (or other browser) and you'll be on your way!

You will need the following information to use the Surf Lakeland Hotspot at FSC:
SSID (Network Name): surffsc
Security and/or Encryption: disabled
Network Type: Infrastructure or Access Point

Windows XP and Windows 2000 will allow you to make these changes with no additional software. If you are using any other operating system, such as Windows 9x, Me, 2000, or NT, you will need to use the configuration program that came with your wireless card.
