Instabridge is an application with a database that has more than 900 thousand free Wi-Fi networks accessible on a map by cell phone. The service allows you to use open networks or discover the internet password in public places, such as restaurants, cafes and squares. It is possible to locate the access points in a list of nearby establishments or by clicking on points directly on the map of the region.
dnetc teaches you how to find Wi-Fi networks using the app map on your Android smartphone or iPhone (iOS). The function is useful to save the 3G or 4G data package, or in case of travel, and also makes information available offline. Check out the tutorial in the following steps.

Step 3. In the central tab (with graphic icon), Instabridge informs the result of the last speed test performed on the network, with download and upload rates. Below, the app shows what activities Wi-Fi can be used for. The gradation goes from sending texts and audio to reproducing videos in low quality or HD. A Wi-Fi with less than 5 Mb / s speed, for example, allows you to watch videos with medium quality.
