FON AP becomes FON FREE INTERNET
From FON Wiki Beta
Based on feedback from some of our Top Foneros, we learned that by changing the FON_AP to a more attractive name significantly improved the number of visits to FON Spots. So we decided to change all FON Spots’ public signal names which weren’t already modified by their owners.
How does this affect Foneros?
This shouldn’t affect you in least, except for the fact that your FON Spots visitors will now see this new signal name. Hopefully, you’ll even see an increase of visits! If you like, you can still change the name to 'FON_nameyouwant', but we recommend that you to keep this new name or at something similar.
How can Foneros change the signal name?
There are two options…
Option 1
- Connect to the MyPlace signal.
- Open your browser and type http://192.168.10.1 and the console will be loaded. The standard user name and password are both the word "admin".
- Click on "Public WiFi" in the menu and then you can change the name behind the 'FON_'. Save your changes and the signal name will change. Perhaps you will have to wait a bit and/or refresh the WiFi manager of your device to see the new signal name.
Option 2
- Log into your My FON user area at fon.com with your FON username (email-address/password).
- Then go to "Configure your FON Router" and in the Settings tab enter a new "Public Signal"
- Save the FON Spot Personalization.
Changes will take up to 30 minutes to take effect on your FON Spot. If you want the change to happen immediately, reboot the La Fonera.
