FAQs

Why would I change the name of my Wi-Fi network?

You don’t just change the name (SSID) of your Wi-Fi network. By setting up your own wifis.org url (like wifis.org/example),you’ll give anyone in your Wi-Fi range the opportunity to contact you without them knowing who you are and where you live. Friendly neighbors might invite you to have a beer or ask you to share your internet access for a monthly payment. wifis.org is a new way of getting in touch with people around you.
