Nowadays, it is important to have access to Wi-Fi. However, not everyone has their own internet connection so most people leech wherever there is free Wi-Fi. Most routers with Wi-Fi access require passwords but nowadays, there are other places to look around and search for free Wi-Fi.

Most of the areas that have free Wi-Fi are airports, coffee shops, public libraries, bookstores, hotel  lobbies, and a few fast food restaurants. Another option is to go around an area with your laptop, phone, or Wi-Fi scanners such as keychains and even t-shirts to look for free Wi-Fi.

Sometimes, the default Wi-Fi scanners provide limited information on the networks you scan. In order to improve your search, employ software that will help you scan and find free Wi-Fi. For Windows, you may opt to install either NetStumbler, which gives you a detailed list of WiFi networks, or WeFi, a database of free Wi-Fi connections. If you are using a Mac, iStumbler is a software that will help you find Wi-Fi hotspots and provide you detailed information. If you are using a Phone with Wi-Fi capabilities, JiWire is a free app in the iPhone that may help you find free Wi-Fi. Or you may use WiFiForum for Windows  Mobile. Phones with internet access may also be used for web applications that will help you find free Wi-Fi. There are numerous sites online such as Hotspot Haven, Wi-Fi Hotspot List, or WiFinder, that will provide you with information regarding free Wi-Fi in your area.

For the truly desperate people who need free Wi-Fi, tethering (using a phone as a modem to provide Internet access to another device) and hacking the WEP password of Wi-Fi networks will provide you with free Wi-Fi. Tethering your phone will provide your laptop with internet access, but the speed of the connection will not be as fast compared to the connection speed of Wi-Fi hotspots. Hacking a Wi-Fi with WEP security access may land you free Wi-Fi, but is not really something to be proud of as you are  technically stealing Wi-Fi access. There are online guides on tethering for various phones and guides on cracking the WEP keys of Wi-Fi hotspots online.

Finding free Wi-Fi in your area may be a tedious task, but the steps and suggestions above will make finding free Wi-Fi a little bit easier.
