你搬到一个新地方，有人不小心挖了你的光纤连接，或者你现在没有宽带家庭互联网连接的预算，那么你如何连接到互联网(Internet)？有很多原因可能导致您在需要时无法访问WiFi互联网。
有没有办法在没有互联网提供商的情况下获得WiFi ？实际上，我们有六件事你可以尝试。
如果您喜欢快速观看视频而不是阅读下面的文章，请务必查看我们的 YouTube 视频(check out our YouTube video)，其中我们介绍了无需ISP即可获得WiFi 互联网(WiFi Internet)的不同方式。
公共 WiFi（使用 VPN！）
根据您居住在世界的哪个地方，您周围可能有很多公共WiFi热点可用。这些是在没有互联网提供商的情况下访问WiFi的绝佳选择。(WiFi)有些人甚至可以从家里访问它们！
这些热点可能属于餐馆或咖啡店等企业。有些实际上是由某些国家的政府提供的。还有一些私人WiFi热点网络提供比使用移动数据便宜得多的高级预付费互联网访问。
当您需要负担得起的数据时，这些WiFi热点会非常方便，但如果没有在您的计算机或移动设备上安装信誉良好的VPN ，切勿使用它们。(VPN)请记住，与您在(Remember)WiFi网络上的其他所有人都可以看到您的设备或计算机并可能访问它。
将手机或平板电脑(Tablet)用作WiFi 热点(A WiFi Hotspot)
如今，大多数智能手机和蜂窝平板电脑都能够充当移动WiFi热点。此功能与连接到同一WiFi热点的任何设备共享您的移动数据计划。
如果您选择这种方式，请记住一些重要的事情。首先(First)，您正在使用移动计划中的数据来为所有连接的设备提供数据。如果您有便宜的数据或无限计划，那就太好了。如果您的数据上限较小或为数据支付了很多费用，则此选项可能不适合您。
如果您决定使用此选项在没有互联网提供商的情况下获取WiFi，请在充当热点的设备上设置数据限制，将您的 Windows 10 计算机切换到“按流量计费(metered connection)的连接”模式，并留意您还剩多少数据。
您也绝对必须为您的移动热点设置密码。您不希望其他人占用您的数据或与您的设备进入同一网络。将您的移动设备用作WiFi热点也会消耗大量电池电量。所以连接一个移动电源或壁式充电器来抵消这种情况。
最后一点需要了解的是移动数据提供商关于网络共享的政策。虽然它不再那么常见，但一些移动数据提供商不允许您绑定您的设备，或者他们在绑定时收取不同的数据费率。为了安全起见，请仔细检查您的计划政策。
连接到移动设备的电缆
如果您只需要将一台设备连接到互联网，为什么还要使用WiFi？与其创建WiFi热点，不如考虑使用USB 数据线(USB cable)将手机或平板电脑直接连接到计算机。
与WiFi(WiFi)热点方法相比，这具有一些优势。没有人可以侵入您的网络，计算机为设备充电，您甚至可以通过USB连接获得比WiFi更快的速度。不过，关于数据价格和网络共享政策的所有其他内容仍然适用。
购买便携式蜂窝路由器
还记得(Remember)我们说过通过WiFi热点使用智能手机的数据计划可能会很昂贵吗？好吧(Well)，一些移动互联网提供商已经看到了市场上的空白，他们会卖给你一张不能用于手机 的纯数据SIM 卡。(SIM card)
相反，您可以将这些SIM卡与电池供电的便携式 4G 路由器(portable 4G routers)一起使用。这些提供了一个专用的WiFi热点，并将您的设备联网作为奖励。因此，无论您走到哪里，都可以在没有互联网提供商的情况下使用WiFi 。
如果您的移动数据计划足够好，您可以简单地使用它来满足您的所有互联网需求，无论是在路上还是回家时。只需(Simply)插入移动路由器即可防止电池干涸。
USB 蜂窝调制解调器
便携式蜂窝路由器的替代品是USB 蜂窝调制解调器(USB cellular modem)。将它们插入笔记本电脑或台式计算机，将它们与您安装 的SIM卡一起直接连接到移动数据连接。(SIM)
这些调制解调器通常比便携式路由器便宜，因为它们缺乏所有的路由器硬件和电池技术。一些笔记本电脑本身也可以充当WiFi热点，这使您可以选择与其他设备（例如智能手机和平板电脑）共享来自USB调制解调器的数据连接。(USB)
来自邻居的 Bum WiFi
当您坐在那里没有自己的WiFi互联网时，您可能会注意到周围其他人的 WiFi 热点(WiFi hotspots of other people around you)。这带来了简单地询问其他人是否可以使用他们的WiFi互联网连接的可能性。我们不能保证任何人都会同意，特别是如果你是一个完全陌生的人。你认识的邻居可能更愿意为你做这件事。如果是这样，这里有一些提示可能有用。
从您的角度来看，将此共享WiFi视为与公共WiFi相同。您无法控制谁连接到它，因此最好使用VPN服务来加密您的数据并隐藏您的活动。
您还应该询问该人他们的路由器是否支持“访客”网络(“guest” networks)。这是一个单独的WiFi网络，不允许您的设备及其设备混合使用。它只为您提供互联网访问权限。这对您友好的邻居和您自己的安心都是完美的。
适合所有人的 WiFi
我们希望您找到了在没有互联网提供商的情况下获得WiFi的正确解决方案，但从长远来看，如果可能的话，通常最好让固定的家庭宽带连接重新上线。尽管随着移动互联网成本的下降和性能的提高，这些天我们都可能会随身携带移动路由器！
How to Get WiFi Without an Internet Provider
You’ve moved into a new placе and someone accidentally dug up your fiber connection or you just don’t have the budget for a broadband home internet conneсtion right now, so how do you get connected to the Internet? There are many reaѕons you might not have WiFi internet access when you need it.
Is there a way to get WiFi without an internet provider? Actually, we’ve got six things you can try.
If you prefer to quickly watch a video instead of reading through the article below, make sure to check out our YouTube video where we go through the different ways you can get WiFi Internet without an ISP.
Public WiFi (With a VPN!)
Depending on where in the world you live, there may be a lot of public WiFi hotspots available around you. These are great options to access WiFi without an internet provider. Some people can even access them from inside their homes!
These hotspots may belong to businesses such as restaurants or coffee shops. Some are actually provided by the government in some countries. There are also networks of private WiFi hotspots that offer premium prepaid internet access that’s much cheaper than using mobile data.
These WiFi hotspots can be very convenient when you’re in need of affordable data, but never use them without installing a reputable VPN on your computer or mobile device. Remember, everyone else on the WiFi network with you can see your device or computer and possibly access it.
Using Your Phone or Tablet As A WiFi Hotspot
Most smartphones and cellular tablets these days have the ability to act as a mobile WiFi hotspot. This feature shares your mobile data plan with any devices connected to the same WiFi hotspot.
There are a few important things to keep in mind if you choose to go this way. First of all, you’re using data from your mobile plan to feed all the connected devices. If you have cheap data or an unlimited plan, great. If you have a small data cap or pay a lot for your data, this option may not be right for you.
If you decide to use this option to get WiFi without an internet provider, set a data limit on the device acting as the hotspot, switch your Windows 10 computer to “metered connection” mode and keep an eye on how much data you have left.
You also, absolutely, must set a password for your mobile hotspot. You don’t want other people sucking up your data or getting on the same network as your devices. Using your mobile device as a WiFi hotspot is also a big battery drain. So hook up a power bank or wall-charger to counteract this.
One last point to know involves mobile data provider policies around tethering. While it’s not that common anymore, some mobile data providers don’t allow you to tether your device or they charge a different rate for data when tethered. Double-check your plan’s policy just to be safe.
Cable Tethering To A Mobile Device
If you only need to connect one device to the internet, why use WiFi at all? Instead of creating a WiFi hotspot, consider using a USB cable to tether your phone or tablet directly to your computer.
This has a few advantages over the WiFi hotspot method. No one can hack into your network, the computer charges the device, and you may even get faster speeds over the USB connection than WiFi. All the other stuff about data prices and tethering policies still apply though.
Buying a Portable Cellular Router
Remember how we said that using your smartphone’s data plan through a WiFi hotspot could be expensive? Well, some mobile internet providers have seen a gap in the market and will sell you a data-only SIM card that isn’t meant to go in a phone.
Instead, you can use these SIM cards with battery-powered portable 4G routers. These offer a dedicated WiFi hotspot and also network your devices together as a bonus. So you’ll have WiFi without an internet provider wherever you go.
If your mobile data plan is good enough, you can simply use this for all your internet needs whether out on the road or when you get home. Simply plug the mobile router in to stop the battery from running dry.
USB Cellular Modems
An alternative to the portable cellular router is the USB cellular modem. Plugging these into a laptop or desktop computer connects them directly to a mobile data connection, along with the SIM card you installed.
These modems are generally cheaper than a portable router, since they lack all the router hardware and battery technology. Some laptops can also act as WiFi hotspots themselves, which gives you the option of sharing your data connection from the USB modem with other devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
Bum WiFi From Your Neighbours
As you’re sitting around with no WiFi internet of your own, you may notice the WiFi hotspots of other people around you. Which brings up the possibility of simply asking someone else if you can use their WiFi internet connection. We can’t guarantee anyone will agree, especially if you’re a complete stranger. A neighbor you know may be more willing to do this favor for you. If so, there are some tips that could be useful here.
From your point of view, treat this shared WiFi the same as you would a public WiFi. You don’t control who connects to it, so it’s best to use a VPN service to encrypt your data and hide your activity.
You should also ask the person whether their router supports “guest” networks. This is a separate WiFi network that doesn’t allow your devices and their devices to mix. It only gives you internet access. That’s perfect both for your friendly neighbor and your own peace of mind.
WiFi For Everyone
We hope you’ve found the right solution to get WiFi without an internet provider, but in the long run it’s usually better to get that fixed home broadband connection back online if at all possible. Although, as mobile internet costs come down and performance improves, we all might be walking around with mobile routers in our pockets one of these days!
