Get online for free

Free Wi-Fi takes about 10 seconds and needs no account.

  1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi on your phone or laptop and choose #CRONUSWIFI.
  2. The Cronus Wi-Fi page opens by itself. If it doesn't, open any website in your browser (see Open a web page).
  3. Tap the Free tile, then Continue with Free. Some locations also ask for your email address.
  4. You're online. The page then takes you to the Cronus Wi-Fi welcome page.

Free selected: Continue with Free

You're connected

Free time is counted only while your device is connected, and it resets at midnight. When your 2 hours are used, the page says Used up today – back tomorrow, and you can still buy a pass.

Buy a pass

You pay right on the Wi-Fi page with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a credit or debit card, and you're online as soon as it goes through.

  1. Join #CRONUSWIFI and wait for the Cronus Wi-Fi page.
  2. Tap Day, Week or Month, then Continue.
  3. Enter your email address, and your name if you like.
  4. Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or your card.
  5. The page shows your 8-character pass code, and you're online.

A receipt with your pass code is emailed to you from support@cronusc.com. Keep it: you need the code to use your pass on another device or browser. Payments are handled securely by Stripe; Cronus never sees your full card number.

Use your pass anywhere

Your pass is available across the entire Cronus network until it runs out, with no paying again.

  • Same device, new location: join #CRONUSWIFI and you're let straight on. No page, no code.
  • New browser or the page appears again: tap Already have a pass?, then enter your email and pass code.
  • Different device: a pass covers one device at a time. Enter your email and code on the new device to move the pass to it.
  • Lost your code? Tap Already have a pass?, then Lost your code?, and enter your email. We email the code again from support@cronusc.com.

If something isn't working

Problem What to do
The Wi-Fi page doesn't open Open a browser and go to any website, such as cronusc.com. Still nothing: turn Wi-Fi off and on (see Disconnect Wi-Fi), then rejoin #CRONUSWIFI.
"Used up today – back tomorrow" Your 2 free hours are used for today. Buy a pass, or come back after midnight.
The page asks me to pay again Tap Already have a pass? and enter your email and pass code.
Internet feels slow Free and Day passes run at 25 Mbps. Week (50 Mbps) and Month (75 Mbps) are faster. Moving closer to the venue also helps.
A charge or refund question Email support@cronusc.com with the email address you used and your pass code.
