Speed and coverage
HRL WiFi delivers adequate speeds on the HRL_Free_WiFi network. HRL WiFi provides adequate speeds for browsing and email; streaming and video calls may buffer during peak hours when the most passengers are connected simultaneously. Coverage extends throughout the terminal areas and concourses — you generally do not need to reconnect as you move through the airport.
Charging stations
The airport's free laptop work areas near the concourse are the best-documented spot to sit and charge devices; individual gate-seat outlet counts are not published by the airport, so grab a work-area seat if you need guaranteed power. Most major US airports — including HRL — provide a mix of USB-A, USB-C, and standard 120 V outlets at gate seating. Bring your own cable; cables are not supplied at charging kiosks.
Pro Tip
Because HRL is one small single-story terminal with no inter-concourse walk or train, the WiFi signal stays consistent everywhere in the building from check-in to gate.
