What is a MAC address?
This is a 12-digit alpha-numeric
string that is usually displayed with a colon or hyphen between every
two digits for easy readability (e.g., 68:5E:12:34:56:78). It identifies
unique network interfaces in a device, so there will be separate MAC
addresses for an Ethernet port and for the Wi-Fi adapter. It is very
important when adding a MAC address to your account that you add the
correct MAC address based on how you are connecting to our network.
What is MAC Randomization?
This is a setting on Apple and
Android devices that provides additional privacy. If MAC Randomization
is turned on, it may prevent our auto-login functionality from working
properly. It is recommended that this Wi-Fi setting be disabled on your
device for any goWiFi network you connect to utilizing the auto-login
function.
Technical
What kind of security is available through my wireless connection?
The goWiFi networks are public Wi-Fi hotspots and do not encrypt the
wireless signal. Ensure when entering any personal information that the
website you are on uses SSL encryption to keep your billing and login
information safe. The URL for secure sites typically starts
with https and will have a locked padlock symbol in the address
bar similar to this:
Your connection is not secure if the URL starts with http or https and has an indication that the site is not secure like this:
The network also prevents peer-to-peer communication with other devices on the network.

When I try to connect to the PlayStation Network, I get an error code. What does this mean?
Users have reported they are receiving error code WS-37397-9 when
attempting to sign in to the PSN. This error means that Sony has blocked
the IP address of your location for activity that Sony has deemed in
violation of the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User
Agreement.
This block is done by Sony on their servers, and it is out of Viasat’s support scope. Our attempts to gain more information from Sony's representatives have only provided what the error code means. Fortunately, the blocks have normally been lifted after 48 hours. While this is unofficial, this has been our experience.
