1	Step 1: Check your Verizon Internet plan and laptop Make sure you have an eligible Verizon Internet plan FiOS Internet – up to 20 Mbps download or faster (Faster and Fastest plans) Verizon High Speed Internet – up to 3 Mbps download or faster (Power and Turbo plans) Need to order Verizon Internet or upgrade your current plan? See Internet plans available at your location. Check your Laptop When you register for Verizon Wi-Fi, we'll help you check to see if your laptop meets our system requirements. Verizon Wi-Fi is not available for PDAs, phones, desktop PCs or Macs. Most late-model laptops have wireless capability, but if yours doesn't, you'll need to buy a wireless card.
2	Step 2: Register and download software Go to our Web site for Verizon customers—Verizon Central. Sign in to “My Account”. Once you’ve signed in, you’ll be able to register for a Verizon Wi-Fi account. If you’re not eligible, you can order new Internet service or upgrade your current plan. Register and download software Registration is quick and easy–you only need to add a Wi-Fi account to your current Verizon Internet account. We'll first help you check to make sure your laptop meets Verizon Wi-Fi system and speed requirements and is set up correctly. After your download is complete, you'll see a Verizon Wi-Fi Connect icon in your Windows task bar (bottom right of your laptop screen).
3	Step 3: Find a hotspot and connect 3 easy ways to find a Verizon Wi-Fi hotspot: Automatic alert - Whenever you're within a Verizon hotspot, the Verizon Wi-Fi Connect icon in your task bar will alert you with a pop-up screen and you can sign in and connect. Search offline - The Wi-Fi Hotspot Directory is downloaded with your Wi-Fi software so you can look for hotspots without being connected to the Internet. You can update the Directory whenever you're online by selecting the Verizon Wi-Fi icon and choosing "update"– so you'll always have the most recent hotspot list handy. Search online - Whenever you're online, you can sign in to Verizon Central and select the "Find Verizon Wi-Fi Hotspots" link in the My Account / Wi-Fi section. Hotspot search is easy–and accurate. You can search by state/region, city, and venue (airports, restaurants, hotels, etc.). Connect to the Internet Once you know you're at a Verizon hotspot, look for the Verizon Wi-Fi Connect alert message on your screen or right-click the icon in your task bar, then select "Connect," enter your user name and password, and you're good to go. And remember – you'll need to stay fairly close to the hotspot–within about 150 feet--to keep a strong connection. Select the icon to disconnect from the Internet or to update the Wi-Fi Hotspot Directory on your laptop.
