Our laptop with wifi just picks up whatever is around.
If more than one exists, it lists them, by strength, so you can choose. In fact this year the one we commonly use at the laundromat had two routers going. It was run as a free service by the town travel aid group for tourists.
Some wifi's require a set up--- the library where we go has that type. We didn't try it this year, so I don't know if they changed it.
But before it wouldn't work on FireFox-- only on IE. You can even pick up other people's routers, if they have not password encoded them.
Alot depends on the type of computer and its software you are using I think.
