About Nest
Nest has been established to provide a simple and inexpensive method of wireless Internet for small communities such as marinas, but it isn't just boat owners that can benefit. For people on the move with a WiFi enabled phone, PDA or laptop, working from your car for business or pleasure, then wireless Internet is available to anyone who signs up to the Nest service and are within one of the areas of wireless coverage.

Just like your home or office Internet this system connects to the outside world through a service provider, we use both the services of Guernsey Net and Cable & Wireless. If you have a wireless connection at home or business then the operation will look very familiar and work in a similar manner.

Please read the conditions of use before connecting to Nest.In order to keep the system as simple as possible complex log ins have been avoided, simply connect, open a web browser then enter your user name and password and start surfing. Most modern laptops have wireless built in so will probably find and connect to the first available AP (access point) automatically, just ensure that this is a Nest Wireless system. Other laptops may have slightly different software for finding wireless connections but the basic principles are much the same. If you are having difficulties connecting to our system, contact us via our problem reporting form. More details on how it works here
Unlike other hotspots, no changes need to be made to your email software settings (such as Outlook, Outlook Express) as the Nest system will reroute them automatically via our Service provider. For enhanced security you may wish to use your provider's secure web based email system. For example, Cable and Wireless and Guernsey Net both provide such facilities. You will need to contact your provider if you require any assistance with these web based email facilities as they are outside our control.
