What is Easy WiFi

Easy-Wifi is designed to make finding and connecting to nearby WiFi networks fast and easy. It is perfect for busy travelers, people who move from place to place and anyone else who wants to get hooked up with a local hotspot with ease. The only problem is that this utility can be seen as redundant and unnecessary because many newer devices already include similar features.

How it works

Just install the program or app, and it will automatically seek out and attempt to connect to the nearest available hotspot. The utility includes an interface which allows the user to enter and store log-in information for their preferred networks. It also automatically connects to WiFi networks that are included in a large database. This can eliminate the need for users to manually enter a username or password when attempting to connect to a new network for the first time. This only works if that particular network is already recognized by the software, but it is a handy feature that does have some benefit.

This is a very simple program that is designed to get users connected to WiFi networks, and it does little else. It does not improve speed, performance or reliability, and it does not enhance security or give users access to protected or private hotspots.

Most devices nowadays automatically scan and try to connect with the nearest available hotspot. Users can store log-in information on their devices and play with their settings in order to get connected when in range. There is really no need to download and install this utility if this sort of functionality is already available. However, some users will benefit from what this utility has to offer.
