If you’re in need of a secure WiFi connection, you can still log on to NMC’s WiFi network from your vehicle while in NMC parking lots, despite the campuses being closed through April 31. For the strongest WiFi signal, refer to these maps. For the best WiFi reception, park as close to the building as possible, and park facing the building.
WiFi is also available in downtown Traverse City through a partnership between the Traverse City Downtown Development Authority and Traverse City Light & Power, though the connection has a 60-minute time limit. Online sources for locating other free WiFi hotspots include Yelp, Wi-Fi Space, WiFi Map and Wiman. (Note that many are password-protected.)
Also, multiple Internet Service Providers and Mobile Carriers have agreed to provide free Internet to K-12 and college students or unlimited data for 60 days beginning March 13, 2020. Learn more here.
