FAQ
Common questions about internet in Fort Smith
How much does home internet cost in Fort Smith?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Fort Smith, whether you're in University of Arkansas, Fort Smith, Fishback Neighborhood Historic District or out by Central Mall.

Or pay nothing at all with FreeU: watch ads you choose in the U-wifi app and earn credit toward your bill.
How does free internet in Fort Smith work?

Watch enough and the $55 is covered. Keep watching past that and you earn U-Bonus points toward merchandise in the U-store. Same gateway, same unlimited data, same speeds.
How fast is U-wifi internet in Fort Smith?
Wired speeds in Fort Smith vary by street and neighborhood. Some blocks have fiber, others have aging cable, and many are still waiting. Tower-based 5G delivers true broadband without depending on what's buried under your yard. U-wifi doesn't tie you to one network. Our gateway picks the strongest 5G signal at your address across the major national carriers and switches if a better one appears, so you get the best speed available in your part of Fort Smith at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.
Do tornadoes and ice storms affect internet service in Fort Smith?
Spring tornado outbreaks and ice storms are the main weather risks in Fort Smith. Because U-wifi runs on multiple carrier networks instead of a single cable line, if one tower goes down your gateway shifts to the next available one. During a major storm, service depends on carrier tower power, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a truck. Multi-carrier failover gives you more paths to stay connected when the weather turns.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Fort Smith?
Yes. Apartment-heavy areas around the University of Arkansas, Fort Smith and near Central Mall see frequent turnover, and a gateway that ships free in two days beats waiting for a cable appointment. The gateway plugs into any outlet and works best near a window. No drilling, no antennas on the roof and nothing to remove when you move out. The gateway's wifi covers a typical 2,500 square foot home and supports up to 256 devices, so a one-bedroom or a shared house is fine.
How do I set up U-wifi in Fort Smith?
Enter your Fort Smith address to confirm coverage, order, and the gateway arrives within two days. Plug it in, find the U-wifi network on your phone or laptop, and enter the password printed on the bottom of the gateway. That's the whole install. No technician, no appointment window, and your first 30 days are a free trial.
What happens if I move within Fort Smith?
Pack the gateway, plug it in at the new address and connect as usual. Then sign in to your U-wifi account and update your address. Nothing to return, nothing to reschedule, and the price stays the same.
What areas near Fort Smith does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Fort Smith and in Fayetteville, Springdale and Rogers. Enter your address to confirm availability at your home. If you're on the edge of coverage, the gateway also supports an external antenna for weaker 5G areas.
