Welcome to Gibsons Marina
Broadband Service

This page is for information about the Marina wifi system only. If you arrived at this page via the link on our WiFi entry page and wish to return - *click here http://start.bluemesh.net. Our log in page (not this page) is only available by direct connection to a “Gibsons Marina” node while in Gibsons Harbour and Area.

Gibsons Marina Coupon Users Information

We currently offer complimentary Internet Wifi Coupons to our Visiting Guests. Please inquire at the Marina Office. If you have already obtained a Coupon Code it is redeemed on our entry page. If you are using only one device you will have instant seamless access with that device after you register. If you have more than one device be sure to save the information that is e-mailed back to you. The e-mail subject will be "Your BlueMesh Account" sent from Bluemesh.net:

E-Mail will be from bluemesh.net
Subject: Your BlueMesh Account.

You may need this for subsequent log-ins (random security checks) and if you have more than one device you want to use.

Using Multiple Devices:
Create only ONE account, you can share it with all your other devices by simply logging into your account with them using the info e-mailed to you from bluemesh.net. You will be asked if you want to (also) transfer your account to this (new) device. Answer yes.

You do NOT need a seperate account for every device you or your guests may have. If you are staying more than one day you can “top up” your account with subsequent coupon codes when required. This is much easier than trying to keep track of expiry dates and times on several device accounts. This DOES NOT slow you down or compromise your security in any way. It really helps us if you should need tech support.

Please be be patient, the security server is looking after thousands of log-ins, and it can sometimes take five to ten minutes to receive your account "credentials". Most times you will receive the e-mail right away. If you believe it has taken too long:
Check your spam settings and folder. If you are using "tethered" devices check them all for the e-mail. If that fails ask for another coupon for the second device. (sorry about that)

All users of this system MUST be registered

Sorry folks, I know it's a tad annoying however this is not the average “public” system. It is a privately owned *secure pay system. “Registration” is neccesary to keep this network as secure as possible for you and all other guests. Your "registration" information is NOT used for any other purpose than to provide security and to enhance and facilitate your use of this Network, NEVER for any other reason. Create only one account it can be shared.. Use a real name, and valid e-mail address or obviously you will never receive your password. Be sure to save the information that is e-mailed back to you. Write it down.

*Unlike "Public Wifi" - We use 128-bit SSL encryption for ALL Log-In and transaction activity. This is the Industry Standard for safe Internet Business. If you are opening a pay account your CC number or any details about it are never "seen" or available to us. Registration is automated. We do not see, nor can we access any information you provide when registering other than what is required to provide you with service and security. We do not track, we do not "capture data", we do not even "see" your e-mail address.

FREE Accounts
You DO NOT need to enter any credit card information to open a Free account.
It is Free, there are no catches, like all users you have to "register".

After you register you will be given a choice of "accounts"

Tech Support

Please do not ask busy Marina Staff for tech support, they cannot provide it and rely on me to look after that for them. I am local and easy to contact. My Phone Numbers and e-mail information is on the entry page.

If you are really having problems I will come to your boat. Free Boat calls are subject to me being available - and of course during reasonable hours - phone calls from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every day are OK. Otherwise you may txt 24/7 to the cell# (on entry page). If you have an alternate means you can e-mail me anytime. This applies to ALL accounts, including Free accounts. I should have you online in a few minutes if you are having problems .....

Before calling please check this...

*There are TWO steps to getting online with a coupon. The system is automated.

First you have to enter basic information about yourself including a real name and a valid e-mail address AND your Coupon Code. When you click on "submit" the security system validates, creates your account and sends you the information it created by e-mail that you need to get on-line .

Second - at the log in page enter the Username and Password the system e-mailed to you. You only have to do that once. Once it likes you, subsequent connections are automatic. (the system does perform random security checks. You may be asked for your account info again, keep it handy).

* "Invalid Coupon Code" or "Invalid Phone Number".
When entering phone numbers or coupon codes be certain to enter the "Dashes. eg. code XGF-GSW-JJG

* Where's my Coupon Code?
Coupon codes are in the above format and are usually on the back of the wifi handout. Additional Codes for additional days are available at Gibsons Marina Office. If the Office is closed you may e-mail or txt a request for a code.

* If you are having problems being re-directed to our entry page, try deleting browser cache and browser history. Close your browser, upen it and try again. Or try this http://start.bluemesh.net

Privacy and Security

We place a high value on privacy and security when on line. Offering you a service with the highest level of Privacy and Security available is very important to us. To ensure this, and that you have the best on-line experience possible we have affiliated with BLUE MESH Networks (USA).

*Unlike "Public Wifi" - this system (Via BlueMesh) uses 128-bit SSL encryption for ALL Log-In and transaction activity. This is the Industry Standard for safe Internet Business. If you open a pay account your CC number or any details about it are never "seen" or available to us. Registration is automated. We do not see, nor can we access any information you submit when registering other than what is required to provide you with service. I do NOT see your e-mail address or PASSWORD and have no way to recover this for you. If you forget your password use the "forgot password" wizard on the log in screen.

Of little interest...but someone asked once...

Blocked Sites and Bandwidth restrictions?

Some WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers) that offer "Public WiFi" employ throttling or outright blocking of certain sites such as Netflix, You Tube, Skype Video etc. to save bandwidth. WE DO NOT BLOCK or hinder your experience in any way. This Network was designed and constructed to support streaming. It is fed with a dedicated hi-speed commercial line and usually runs at less than 10% of capacity. Happy Surfin....
