Wireless Internet Access

Get connected to the Internet through our free wireless access point at the Tempe Public Library. You will be able to surf the web from any device that supports 802.11b wireless connectivity. The signal is available throughout the Library.

The tempecafe connection will allow web browsing only (no gaming, music swapping, chat, etc.).  If you need to access your email it will need to be through a web interface.  Most email providers have web interfaces available and you'll have to contact them if you don't have their access information.

Electrical outlets to plug in your laptop are in high demand and may not be available for all patrons to use. Patrons who wish to use their laptop while in the Connections Café are required to make a purchase.

We use Cisco for our access points and they have a page that could help if you have problems with your wireless equipment.  Check it out.
