The Glencoe Park District is conisdering placing public WiFi in our Community Center reception area. We are wondering if anyone else is currently doing this. If you are allowing the general public to utilize a WiFi connection I would like to know how it has worked out and if you are limiting or monitoring access in anyway?
Thanks in advance for your help.
We do offer free public WiFi in our community centers. It happens to be the same network staff use and there is a very restrictive firewall (supervisors are given the password so they can visit sites that the public can’t). The network is checked weekly by an independent contractor to make sure everything is on the up and up. So far we haven’t had any issues, as it relates to the public’s use of this. Honestly, though, they don’t use it much but it comes in handy for us when we have meetings in various rooms and when people rent our rooms for various presentations. Thats where it is most useful.
