Everyone wants WiFi these days. And they are easy to setup. But you have to ensure that you establish best practices for utilization of the WiFi network spectrum. Some of these might include:

• Times when the WiFi network is available to everyone
• Location of the Wireless Access Points – the higher the better
• Expose the SSID so that members can find it – i.e. hiding it really doesn’t secure it

It can be exciting to open up a WiFi Hotspot and involve the congregation in the network. But you should always have a distinct purpose in doing so. How can it enhance the worship experience? What limitations do you need to impose on where people can surf? What Church servers will be accessible over the WiFi on Sunday mornings? Thinking through these questions will go a long way towards making WiFi successful.
