I'm on the road full-time and I'm always in need of wi-fi for work. I refuse to pay for it, when there are free signals everywhere. Please share your hotspots for free wi-fi!
Generally I rely on these spots: Starbucks: Generally has the strongest signal of all the places listed. McDonalds Corner Bakery Cafes Denny??¢â??¬â??¢s Dunkin??¢â??¬â??¢ Donuts FedEx: Strong Signal Whole Foods Office Depot Panera: Strong Signal Caribou Coffee Tim Hortons Coffee Bean Tea Leaf Public libraries: About half seem to need a passcode, that you can ask the front desk for. Hotels and Motels: These are hit or miss. The privately owned ones tend not to have a password. RV Campgrounds: Most private parks these days have free wifi. Book Stores: They still exist? The few still around almost all offer free Wi-Fi Large truck stops: Flying J, Love??¢â??¬â??¢s, Pilot, and TA all have reliable Wi-Fi Websites to help you find locations: AnchorFree:The good thing about this site is it only shows the free Wi-Fi Hot spots, so you don??¢â??¬â??¢t have to sort through the paid ones. JWire??¢â??¬â??¢s Wi-Fi Hotspot Finder Ok, besides all the ads, this site is awesome. Shows you paid and free Wi-Fi signals based on your location. Believe it or not, Google Maps can help you find free Wi-Fi as well. Go to the ??¢â??¬????Find Businesses??¢â??¬???? tab under the search box. Enter ??¢â??¬????wifi hotspot??¢â??¬???? in the first box and the address in the next box. It will show you an extensive list of paid and free Wi-Fi hotspots. Also, Best Small Camper's has a great guide on how to find free wi-fi on the road. |

If you have a smart phone you can make it a "hot spot", at least if you're on Verizon's network. It's a very small fee and you can have it turned on or off at will to reduce the overall cost.
