Wi-Fi Troubleshooting
Can your device “see” the network?
If not, make sure your device’s wireless is turned on and that you are trying to connect to the network named “Winona Public Library.”
Have you opened a browser?
You need to get the Wireless Internet Use Policy page to load in a browser and select “I Agree” to fully connect to the library’s wireless network.
Are you having trouble getting the Wireless Internet Use Policy page to load?
If you’ve connected to the network and opened a browser, but the Internet Use Policy acceptance page is not loading, then try navigating to https://winona.lib.mn.us. This will often kick-start the Wireless Internet Use Policy page to load.
Have you tried all of the above but are still having trouble connecting?
If you have tried the above steps and are still having problems, then try disconnecting from the network and restarting your device. This often solves connection issues.
