WiFi Access Now Available at County Neighborhood Centers

New public access to WiFi service is now available at all county neighborhood centers.

The new “County WiFi” will be accessible daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and is generally reachable from any location within each neighborhood center or in the public areas around the building, including the parking lots.

“It is our hope that this free public WiFi will give families and students who do not presently have easy access to the internet, another option to help take care of online necessities like paying bills or completing schoolwork,” said Mayor Derek SK Kawakami. “This adds to our effort to modernize our county services and bring digital equity to the community, especially during these current times where the use of technology has become essential in daily life.”

To access WiFi at the neighborhood centers, search for “County WiFi,” which will show among the list of networks available if you are in the immediate vicinity of a neighborhood center. No password or other authentication is needed.

The County of Kaua‘i neighborhood centers recently reopened to limited use for the public on April 15. The neighborhood centers are open for classes, meetings, and trainings upon permit approval from the Department of Parks and Recreation. COVID-19 safety guidelines are enforced at all neighborhood centers.
