If you have a laptop that is WiFi enabled (802.11 a/b/g) and you have a RAVEN account you should be able to take advantage of this new service. If you are unsure if your laptop is WiFi enabled, or have any questions about the Lapwing wireless service please contact the Computer Office on floor 2.

When using Lapwing at LAW please make sure of the following things for your own benefit:

  • Your operating system is up to date i.e. all the latest updates and patches are installed.

How to gain access to WIFI at Law.

Load a web browser e.g. Firefox or Internet Explorer in a WIFI enabled area.

You should be presented with a page that asks you to continue.

You should then be prompted to enter your RAVEN account details.

Once you have logged in click continue.

You must  leave the browser window open that you have used to login to Lapwing, closing it will terminate your WIFI connection.
