How to connect?

We explain in these lines, which are the procedures to be able to connect inside Barcelona from your location.

Before anything else, we remind that the previous step to have connection to Internet is the preinscription that may be done through the Preinscription form or physically at the Infoespai.

For the connection to the free net, no preinscription is necessary –although we recommend it if you require our technical support -, only the connection through a booster node; because of that en these case the following information on cases, photos and coverage tests are also recomended.

Thus, to be able to prepare the enrolment of a user it is necessary to check if there will be connectivity with a booster node.

To do that we have established 3 typical situations, which are detailed in the first subsection of this page.

1. First case: You already have physical visibility to a main node from the roof.

2. Second case: You are in a neighbourhood with main node, but you don’t have visibility from the roof.

3.Third case: You are in a neighbourhood with no main node installed yet.

It consists on knowing which is your case. The first way to check it is confirming visibility through sending us photos and the second way is to do a coverage test with a router and an antenna.

These two techniques for checking are also detailed in the subsections of this page.

On the other hand, in general therms, we give you some considerations, to complete the information: The main nodes of the wireless cooperative network are named (essid) “xsf-coop.net”. The connection to Internet, requires of a user and password, that we will provide you once we confirm there’s connectivity and once registered in the cooperative.

For any information or question, write to info@xsf-coop.net or call 93 390 72 36.
