If you do not see this signal, you may be out of the range of the Wi-Fi equipment and will need to move closer. Once you are connected to the goWiFi signal, open your browser (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome). The page will redirect you to your goWiFi login page.

For Barracks, FH, or lodging facilities, Viasat will provide internet modems free of charge across NSGB. These modems are owned by Viasat and will remain in the house/room as residents move in or move out. The modems will be clearly labeled, so please do not remove, move, or adjust the modem unless instructed by a Viasat representative.
Non-Viasat modems are prohibited from being connected to the network under any circumstances, as they result in service degradation for all NSGB users.
For Family Housing, you may plug in your own equipment (router/extender/etc.) to the Viasat cable modem, and you will continue to own and be responsible for your personal equipment.

When I try to connect to the PlayStation Network, I get an error code. What does this mean?
Users have reported they are receiving error code WS-37397-9 when attempting to sign in to the PSN. This error means that Sony has blocked the IP address of your location for activity that Sony has deemed in violation of the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement.
This block is done by Sony on their servers, and it is out of Viasat’s support scope. Our attempts to gain more information from Sony's representatives have only provided what the error code means. Fortunately, the blocks have normally been lifted after 48 hours. While this is unofficial, this has been our experience.
