Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
Domestic US travelers won't need anything extra; international visitors connecting through Midway should already have a US-compatible eSIM rather than relying on free airport wifi for a long session.
Boingo-powered wifi offers a free basic tier with a paid unlimited upgrade — the free tier is fine for messaging and email, but expect it to slow down during peak boarding banks.
