Set-Up and Installation Questions
How do I install a wireless card?
Your wireless card works similarly to a wired network card. It sends and receives data packets at high speeds. Instead of sending these packets down a wire, your card uses radio signals to communicate with our equipment. AmeriSpot's radios then send your data through our Wireless Backbone out to the internet.
How do I install a wireless USB Adapter?
You need to first install your device drivers. They are on the disk/CD that came with your card. After installing your drivers, you will want to shut down your computer, insert your wireless card, and restart. Your computer should detect new hardware and offer to search for the correct drivers. It will find them, and you will be able to use your new hardware.
When setting up your wireless card, you will be asked for two settings. The SSID needs to be set to AmeriSpot (note Capital A and S). The mode needs to be set to Infrastructure.
How do I install a Ethernet Wireless Adapter?
The Ethernet Wireless Adapter available through AmeriSPOT requires no drivers or other installation. Simply attach it to your Ethernet jack on your computer, plug it into a power source if applicable and you will be ready to get online.
Do I have to be logged into AmeriSPOT/Airpath's service to get my e-mail?
Yes, when connecting through AmeriSPOT/Airpath you must have logged in to access email.

What is the maximum size of a file or attachment that I can send via e-mail?
The maximum size of email attachments is dictated by the mail server through which you send your messages. If you use AmeriSpot's mail server, you will be limited to 5MB per message.
