Wireless networks, aka Wi-Fi, allow you to access the Internet anywhere in your home and provides an easy way to share a single Internet connection among multiple devices. One limitation of Wi-Fi networks is how far their signal reaches. Sometimes the range of a Wi-Fi network won’t even cover your entire house. Fortunately, there are things you can do to boost your Wi-Fi signal strength and expand your coverage area.

ImOn Communications believes in supporting and investing in the communities we serve. And what better way than providing free public Wi-Fi in portions of Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha. ImOn knows Internet connectivity is such an important part of our daily lives so offering free public Wi-Fi makes Internet access readily available where we work and play. Free public Wi-Fi not only enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors to our community, but it is also a step forward in making Cedar Rapids a “connected” city. Public users can get up to 2 hours of free access daily, while current ImOn residential Internet customers receive unlimited access. Just another added benefit of being an ImOn customer!

You cannot deny the fact that the Internet has opened an endless world of possibilities for our children. It is an amazing tool that can bring together information and people from around the world. It helps our children learn, explore their world, and socialize with their friends. But, the Internet can also make children vulnerable to certain risks and dangers to their privacy and personal safety.
Here are a few Internet safety tips from the National Crime Prevention Council to help keep your kids safe on the Internet.

Wireless networks, aka Wi-Fi, allow you to access the Internet anywhere in your home and provides an easy way to share a single Internet connection among multiple devices. While wireless networks are very convenient, they can also be very insecure. If your Wi-Fi network is not secure, you open the door for hackers to steal your information or neighbors to hijack your Wi-Fi for their own use. Not only can this slow down your Internet speed, it also leaves you vulnerable to identity theft or illegal activity. Here are a few basic tips from PC World and the University of Illinois for locking your wireless network to help prevent unauthorized access.
