Thank you for using the San José Downtown Wi-Fi. Our goal is to give residents and visitors an enjoyable online service. Please keep in mind that:

  • Within the strategic corridors indicated by green lines in the coverage map, there would be a strong signal strength, allowing for a higher bandwidth - weaker coverage may exist in some areas due to streetscape and interference.
  • User experience will vary depending upon the client device (phone, tablet, laptop) and distance from Wi-Fi Access Point.
  • Frequencies used are unlicensed so interference from neighboring networks and other radio sources may occur and impact your service.
  • This Free Wi-Fi network was designed for outdoor coverage - indoor connectivity is not guaranteed.
  • Bandwidth and Internet usage is a free and shared service. There could be delays in downloading large files, especially during high-use periods of the day.
