Travel: Find Free Wi-Fi

Travel: Find Free Wi-Fi

By At 7/11/2014 2

Paying for Wi-Fi access is a traveler's pet peeve, especially when stuck in an airport on an infinite layover. 

Well, never be left analog again.
I found this Lifehacker article, "The Definitive Guide to Finding Free Wi-Fi," rounds up a number of ways to locate a hot spot free of charge. (Warning: Some are of questionable legality.) 
My favorite (above-board) tip is to download a program such as NetStumbler, which goes above and beyond your computer's built-in Wi-Fi detector by locating "hidden" Wi-Fi networks your PC might have missed. 
If you're on a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, iStumbler will provide the same service. Smartphone users can get apps like JiWire's Free Wi-Fi Finder, whose directory tracks the exact location of nearly 150,000 free networks worldwide.
If all else fails, find the inevitable Starbucks. Many locations offer free Wi-Fi (and you can usually perch right outside the entrance and secure a connection).

Got a tip? Let us know and we'll post it here!
