There are several wifi networks at Tampa Hackerspace.

The wifi password for all networks is the same and is posted in most rooms of the space. There are also small wooden plaques with a QR code and NFC tag that should auto-join the wifi.

TPAHKRSPC (2.4GHz) and TPAHKRSPC5 (5Ghz) are the Microtik 802.11ax "Wifi 6" access points in multiple locations throughout the space. These should be your first choice in most cases.

THSMESH is a series of Google mesh access points located across the front parts of the space. This network has it's own DHCP and is isolated (NAT) from the rest of the Tampa Hackerspace network. So if you need to connect to a laser printer, server, 3D printer, etc. especially by DNS / Bonjour this is not the network for you.
