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.
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.
