What Is Community WiFi and How Do Residents Create An Account?

NOTE: Community WiFi is not available in all communities. Speak to your community manager about enabling this feature.

Community WiFi is a service that provides wireless internet access regardless of where you are in your community.

Residents follow these steps to create an account:

  • Log into the SmartRent app. If they don’t have a SmartRent Account, follow these steps.

  • Tap “More.”

  • Select “Community WiFi.”

Once they’re logged in, they'll be able to see the details of their plan.
​
Next, they tap the “Get Started” button to proceed. They should contact their property manager if they don’t see this button, as the resident may need to sign additional paperwork.
​
After completing the “Get Started” process, the resident will see their network name and password. They will have a default password and, while it’s not required to change it, we recommend doing so.
​
To customize or update the password, tap the pencil and follow the instructions.
​
Tap Open Device WiFi Settings to connect their phone to their new WiFi network.
​
If the resident is an Android user, they'll see a list of available WiFi networks that includes the new network. Select this new network and enter the corresponding password.
​
If the resident is an iOS user, tap WiFi, select the new network from the list of available WiFi networks, and enter the password.
​
Note: The password you created may have a Security Key appended to it. We recommend using the app’s Copy feature to avoid typos when connecting additional devices.
​
The resident's phone is now officially connected to Community WiFi!
