Welcome
DFWFreeNet is a community built, owned and operated free wireless network in the Dallas / Ft. Worth (Texas, USA) area. Founded in 2006, our mission is to help bridge the Digital Divide by providing free wireless Internet access to those where it’s not economically feasible. DFWFreeNet depends on the efforts of volunteers and sponsoring businesses of the community. You can help by setting up a free WiFi hotspot.
Connect
You will need a wireless enabled computer, laptop or handheld to connect to DFWFreeNet. When searching for available wireless networks, the network name will be “dfwfreenet“. No network key or password is required. Please refer to our network map to find locations where you can connect to DFWFreeNet.
Contribute
 | 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 may still be able help out by extending the network. 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 at no cost, just purchase the equipment and supply a 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, you are welcome to join DFWFreeNet by replacing 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. Send us an e-mail at the address below for more information. |
