SF Blog - The Blog about San Francisco

Meraki has been working on setting up repeaters all over San Francisco to setup free wifi for everyone.

Of course, the project seems to be centered around the Mission district as of now and there’s pretty much none near Sunset and Richmond areas.

You can help spread the free SF Wifi by applying for a free repeater here.

I remember you had to pay like $50 for this before but I guess they are giving them away free to volunteers now.

With the help of volunteers like you, we are building a network with thousands of indoor and outdoor repeaters! Each of these little boxes spreads the network a little further, bringing free Internet access to you and your neighbors. Depending on where you live, you might be able to help us out. And if you can put a repeater outdoors at your place, even better!

Check out the free wireless network that’s growing near downtown SF. You can contribute to it by placing a “free” repeater in your home.
Too bad, we are located near Richmond district, where there is non right now. Maybe we will be the first ones to start.

Meraki is teaming up with people in Alamo Square, Duboce Park, the Castro, and the Mission to start bringing free wireless Internet access to the city. As a neighbor, you can help the network grow by putting a Mini repeater in your front window, balcony, or roof. We’re giving away the hardware and if you can place a repeater on your roof, we may set you up with a free DSL line as well.
