How to connect to Wi-Fi for the first time

In this article we will explain how the network works, and how to get your devices online.

When you first arrive in your accommodation, connect your device to the Wi-Fi network. You’re looking for the network Glide. If GlideSecure is available, you’ll need to register an account on the open network first - for more help, see here.

Next, simply open your preferred web browser and you will be redirected to a page which looks like this:

If you browser displays a message that the connection is not secure, click Advanced, then continue to the website. This is simply your browser flagging that our network is trying to redirect you.

If you’ve already got a Glide account, you should enter your username and password and click Continue. If you haven’t made an account yet, you’ll need to click Get Started.

Once you’re logged in, you’ll be shown a screen that says Your Broadband is now enabled, meaning you are now able to access the internet, and your device is securely logged into the Glide network.

You should follow these steps for all computers, laptops and mobile phones, using the same account for each of them. Make sure you’ve got your phone’s mobile data turned off, as you’ll need to be connected to the Glide Wi-Fi to login.

Other devices, such as games consoles, Smart TVs and streaming devices will need to be added to your account.
