LPS Chromebooks are able to connect to the Internet from wireless networks (Wi-Fi) at home or in public. To access the internet from a non-LPS network, the Chromebook must first<\/em><\/strong> authenticate to our filter. This happens automatically, but may take a few moments in some situations. If the device is not authenticated to our filter it will run in “Offline Mode” and apps may not behave as expected.<\/p>\n

If you do not have access to the internet, you can still access many of the resources necessary to complete schoolwork, like Google Drive and it’s productivity tools and many digital curriculum resources. See the Working While Offline section for more information.

Connect to Wi-Fi (away from LPS)<\/h4>\n

To connect to a wireless network you must know the network’s password.<\/p>\n

Students should use these steps to establish an Internet connection outside of the LPS network for the first time.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login<\/strong> to your LPS account on the Chromebook.<\/li>\n
  2. Connect<\/strong> your Chromebook to WiFi by clicking the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and selecting the network you wish to join. (Follow these steps<\/a> or these steps <\/a><\/strong>if you need assistance.)<\/li>\n
  3. Launch the Chrome browser<\/strong> in the bottom left corner of the screen.<\/li>\n
  4. The LPS filter will load. Enter your LPS student ID and password<\/strong> to authenticate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    IMPORTANT TO KNOW!<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Your internet connection is routed through the LPS filter to ensure that access to the Internet adheres to district policy.<\/li>\n
    • Your computer should automatically remember this network the next time you need to connect but you will ALWAYS<\/strong> need to go through the filter sign-in page (step 3) to successfully connect to Internet resources (including LPS Google Docs) at home.<\/li>\n
    • If you are connected to WiFi but do not see items you expect to see in Google Drive, you may need to follow steps 3-4 above then<\/strong><\/em> refresh the Google Drive screen.<\/li>\n
    • The filter will time out after 1 hour of inactivity<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. Any time you are having trouble with a web page, refresh the page to re-authorize through the LPS filter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
