U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Schenectady, whether you're in Downtown Schenectady, Mont Pleasant or out by Bellevue. 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 Schenectady 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 Schenectady vary widely by neighborhood and street, especially in older districts where infrastructure was laid decades ago. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, with speeds that depend on the tower 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 Schenectady at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.

Schenectady sits in the path of nor'easters, lake-effect snow, and ice storms that can knock out power and damage lines. Because U-wifi connects to multiple carrier towers instead of a single cable line, if one network goes down your gateway shifts to another. During a major storm, service depends on whether the carrier towers have power, but you're not waiting on a truck to repair a line to your street.

Yes. Apartments are common around Union College, in Downtown Schenectady, and across the General Electric Realty Plot. 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 Schenectady 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 Schenectady and in Troy, Albany and Utica. 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.
