3. What's La Fonera

3.1. FON's new Social Router

La Fonera is our own WiFi router.
A WiFi router is a product that plugs in to your broadband
Internet connection, and turns it into a WiFi Access Point.
That means you can connect your laptop or handheld
games console to the Internet without any wires, so you
can move around your house freely. More and more devices
are becoming WiFi enabled!
La Fonera is a special kind of WiFi router. We call it a Social
Router. That's because when you activate your La Fonera,
you become part of the FON Community. Members of the
FON Community share their WiFi at home, and in return get
free WiFi wherever they find a FON Access Point.
La Fonera is also a Social Router because you can
personalize the page that other Foneros see when they log
on to your FON Access Point. So you can tell people a bit
about yourself or your local area, or just say 'hi' to your
fellow Foneros.
