WiFi at home and around Portland

When you first get super-fast fiber internet at home, you’ll probably be blown away at how fast things happen. After a while, it becomes so routine that you may forget just how quick it is. Connecting to the internet outside the home can be a reminder that not all WiFi is created equal. As the provider of fast fiber internet in Portland, we’re well-tuned to where you can find free internet hotspots to make your time away from home more enjoyable.

Portland Airport WiFi

You can connect to free WiFi at PDX by joining “flypdx” on any device. Simply accept the terms of use, and you’re good to go with no password required. WiFi is available in all public areas of the airport, including the gates, baggage claim areas, rental car center, and the TriMet platform.

Public spaces

The city of Portland provides free WiFi in parks, community and arts centers, and sports facilities in neighborhoods in every direction. If you’re downtown, you can get some work done outside at Pioneer Courthouse Square or Director Park. You’ll also find WiFi hotspots at parks and community centers in each quadrant, including the Multnomah Arts Center, Southwest Community Center, Peninsula Park Community Center, Cully Park, Luuwit View Park, McCoy Park, and Wallace Park, where you can also let your dog run free. Maybe do a little surfing after a match at the Portland Tennis Center or before teeing off at the Rose City, RedTail, or Eastmoreland golf course.

Libraries and museums

All the Multnomah public library branches offer free WiFi. You can connect your own device for unlimited access or use a library computer for up to 4 hours per day. The Central Library downtown is easy to access, and there’s plenty of room to settle in and focus on whatever you need to do online. The Portland Art Museum is also nearby, or, if you prefer something a little more collegiate, guest internet access is available for visitors to the PSU library and campus.

Cafes, bookstores, and retailers

Getting free WiFi in Portland is as easy as grabbing a cup of coffee. You’ll likely find a hotspot wherever you get your caffeine fix, and you’re sure to connect at every Case Study location. The same goes for bookstores. Powell’s is a sure bet, but you’ll find WiFi available in most Portland bookstores. There’s also free WiFi at Washington Square and Pioneer Place malls and in the stands at Moda Center.
