Is there such thing as being able to use the internet on your laptop anywheres?

Question

... for free? like without a subscription or anything. kinda like leeching off someone who is nearby's connection. if so, how do you do it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. Most coffee joints, bookstores, hotels, restaurants offer Wi-Fi for free. However, certain places will have a WEP security, like a password-protected key.

Some other places use browser to login to Wi-Fi. But, once you go to these cafes, restaurants and order some food or drinks and get the password, you can use the password anywhere as long as the cafes still run their business!

Leeching off someone's Wi-Fi connection is highly risky and dangerous.

Answer 2

If u have a laptop with a wireless link (wi-fi). Then it can link and connect to anyones wireless modem/network card, that is not password protected. Its called a hot spot, when u can link to someones modem/network card.

Hope this info helped.

Answer 3

not necessarily anywhere but you can get free internet access at most coffee shops (not Starbucks) and some public places like libraries. as for home use you just have to hope that some idiot didn't bother to put a WEP key on his network and then you can just mooch off his service for free.

Answer 4

yes
there are open (not password proteced) wireless networks
popping up across the nation
all you need is a wireless adapter or a wireless card and your
good to go
(most wireless networks extend 100-200 feet from the source)

Answer 5

Careful though... some hackers deliberately leave their Networks open so people can use them... once these people are in, the Hackers can start screwing with your computer.

Answer 6

If you have wireless on your laptop you can connect to any wireless signal that is unsecured.
