U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Richmond, whether you're in Point Richmond, Marina Bay or out by Fairmede-Hilltop. 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 Richmond 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 Richmond vary widely by street and neighborhood, and some blocks wait years for fiber. Tower-based speeds depend on your location and which carrier signal is strongest at your address, but you get true broadband with unlimited data. 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 Richmond at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.

Wildfire season brings public safety power shutoffs across the East Bay, and winter atmospheric rivers can knock out infrastructure. 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 signal. During a major event, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to restore a neighborhood node.

Yes. Richmond has apartment-heavy areas around Marina Bay and the Iron Triangle where a plug-and-play gateway means no landlord approval and no installation 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.

Enter your Richmond 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 Richmond and in Berkeley, Oakland and San Rafael. 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.
