Every U-wifi customer in Urbandale 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 Urbandale vary by street and by neighborhood, especially in the western parts of the city where new construction outpaces infrastructure. U-wifi delivers true broadband from the tower with the strongest signal at your address. 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 Urbandale at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.

Urbandale faces derechos, tornadoes, and ice storms that can knock out power and 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 weather event, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a truck.

Yes. Apartment complexes near Valley West Mall and around the Urbandale Community School District get the same plug-and-play setup as single-family homes. 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 Urbandale 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 Urbandale and in Des Moines, West Des Moines and Ankeny. 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.
