Lasqueti Wireless - High-speed Internet Access

"Internet Access for the Central Strait and Northern Gulf Islands"

In the summer of 2007, the Lasqueti Internet Access Society set up a broadband radio transmitter on the Quality Foods building on the Alberni highway above Parksville. This equipment provides a dedicated, wireless high-speed internet connection to both residents and visitors to Lasqueti Island and surrounding areas.  Anyone who can receive our signal can purchase time on the Lasqueti Wireless system via an automated transaction, paid by Credit Card.

To access Lasqueti Wireless, you will need:

1. A computer with wireless access:
   • WIFI card or wireless adapter (for a line-of-sight connection near a tower access point,  e.g. in False Bay)
     OR
   • a dedicated radio with antenna (for non-line-of-sight connection).

2. Purchase connection time on the LIAS Lasqueti Wireless network using an existing Credit Card or a PayPal account.

Sign up for Lasqueti Wireless!

To access a high-speed internet connection, visit Lasqueti Wireless and click "Sign-Up".   
There are further instructions and help on the Lasqueti Wireless site, but in short, you'll be asked to:

• sign-up for a Lasqueti Wireless account;
• pay for the period you require service
  (you will be re-directed to PayPal during account sign-up - all major credit cards accepted);
• login to the Lasqueti Wireless service;

That's it.
This account provides access to broadband internet connection (Note: this is completely separate from your lasqueti.ca website and e-mail accounts). Before activating your account, you should already be receiving the wireless signal.  See "Getting Help" below to find out more about receiving the signal.
