Email Authentication System

A user's email address is used for authentication when connecting to a FREESPOT point for the first time. From the second connection on, no authentication is required. The user's email address is tied to the MAC address of the wireless client and recorded on the authentication server.



Notes:
1. This email authentication system is used at dedicated FREESPOT access points (FS-G300N and FS-HP-G300N routers).
2. Web-based email and free email accounts cannot be used. Use an email account provided with your phone or ISP.
3. If your mobile phone has a spam-blocker or uses email filtering, set it to accept email from the "@freespot.com" domain.


Authentication expires in 6 months
No authentication is required if your last access was within 6 months.
