DFWFreeNet is a community built, owned and operated community wireless network in the Dallas / Ft. Worth (Texas, USA) area. Our mission is providing a free wireless network to help bridge the Digital Divide, providing Internet access to those where it’s not economically feasible. You can help expand the network by putting a wireless repeater or gateway in your window.

You will need a computer with a wireless card (802.11b/g aka WiFi) to connect to DFWFreeNet. If you have a laptop without a wireless card, but live near one of our wireless locations, let us know and we may be able to provide you with one. When searching for available wireless networks, the network name will be “dfwfreenet“.

DFWFreeNet is building a wireless network with the goal of addressing the Digital Divide and we need your help. As a member of the community, you can help DFWFreeNet grow by putting a wireless repeater or gateway in your front window, balcony or rooftop. If you have a broadband Internet connection, you can share your bandwidth, or if you don’t have a broadband Internet connection, you can still help out by extending the network if you can see the “dfwfreenet” wireless network signal from your location.

If you are a business or property owner (cafe, bakery, restaurant, bar, laundromat, hotel, apartment complex, conference center, etc.), DFWFreeNet volunteers will install a wireless network for cost of the broadband Internet connection. You’ll attract new customers that stay longer and save hundreds in installation, equipment, supplies and labor costs compared to having a commercial company install a wireless network.

If you already provide free wireless Internet or already have a wireless network set up, you are welcome to join DFWFreeNet by upgrading your existing access point(s) with DFWFreeNet wireless gateways and repeaters. By combining our efforts, you’ll become part of a larger wireless initiative, gain additional exposure and be helping to build a unified and robust wireless network across the Dallas / Ft. Worth area. Fill out the form below or send us an e-mail for more information.
