Technical information

The Courts WiFi offers basic internet access and cannot be used for vpn access to office networks or similar services, but should enable access to email or general web services.

If your device has never connected to the Wifi network, select the BAR_WEB from the available wireless networks (when in range), and when prompted for the password, enter the passphrase specified above.  This one SSID and passphrase will apply wherever the Courts WiFi is available, and therefore should not need to be re-entered when in different court venues.

Please also note:

  • Use of the Wifi network is subject to web filtering and logging to assist in the prevention of the service being used to access inappropriate material.

  • The Wifi network is providing access to the public internet which is not a secure network.

  • The Wifi network is limited to HTTP and HTTPS traffic only.  Most smartphones and tablet apps will work without issue but some apps may use ports that are not open and will not connect to their services.

  • The Wifi passphrase will be changed regularly and notification will be issued prior to the change.
