U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Redwood City, whether you're in San Carlos, Atherton or out by Port of Redwood City. The next-gen gateway, two-day shipping and your first 30 days are free, and there's no contract. Or pay nothing at all with FreeU: watch ads you choose in the U-wifi app and earn credit toward your bill.

Every U-wifi customer in Redwood City can switch on FreeU inside the U-wifi app. Our Choice Advertising model lets you pick the ads you see, and watching them earns credit against your monthly service. 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.

Wired speeds in Redwood City vary by street and neighborhood, and even by which side of the block you're on. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, with the actual speed depending on your address and the carrier signal there. 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 Redwood City at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.

Wildfire season, public safety power shutoffs and winter atmospheric rivers are the main risks in Redwood City. 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 event, service depends on carrier tower power and whether utilities have cut electricity to reduce fire risk.

Yes. Apartment buildings near Sequoia Hospital and around Redwood City station work the same way: plug in the gateway, connect to the network printed on the bottom. 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.

Enter your Redwood City 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.

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.

U-wifi is live across Redwood City and in San Mateo, Palo Alto and Mountain View. 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.
