![]() Some require such extreme patience and waiting that the café idea is going to look pretty good. However, there are other ways to get back on the wireless. Download an app for your phone likeWiFi-Map (available for iOS and Android), and you'll have a list of over 2 million hotspots with free Wi-Fi for the taking (including some passwords for locked Wi-Fi connections, if they're shared by any of the app's 7 million users). You could just go to a café, buy a latte, and use the 'free' Wi-Fi there. ![]() Perhaps you forgot the password on your own network, or don't have neighbors willing to share the Wi-Fi goodness. Without the password or passphrase, you're not going to get access to that network, or the sweet, sweet internet that goes with it. The problem is, if there's a lock next to the network name (AKA the SSID, or service set identifier), that indicates security is activated. Chances are you have a Wi-Fi network at home, or live close to one (or more) that tantalizingly pops up in a list whenever you boot up the laptop.
