Users connected to the ‘Imago’ Wi-Fi service at the time of the upgrade:
Users will be disconnected from the Wi-Fi network and will be redirected to the new Imago registration page where they will be required to enter their name and email address. They will be prompted to enter the weekly access code (available from the venue reception).
New users (not connected at time of upgrade):
New users will need to join the ‘Imago’ Wi-Fi network and enter details requested. They will be prompted to enter the weekly access code (available from the venue reception).
Users currently using the ‘Imago-Venues’ Wi-Fi network:
This network will no longer be available from 08.00 on 07 August. Users will need to join the ‘Imago’ Wi-Fi service and enter details requested. They will be prompted to enter the weekly access code (available from the venue reception).
Longer-term users:
Users should automatically connect to the upgraded service but may experience a short disruption as their connection disconnects from the old network and reconnects to the new.
What are the benefits?
The upgraded Wi-Fi network has the following benefits:
