If your trip to Malaysia isn\u2019t supposed to be a solitary voyage of self-discovery, then you probably want to brag a bit on social media with those picturesque landscapes and turquoise waters<\/a> \u2013 or skype with home. Most modern nations today have readily accessible free Wi-Fi hotspots throughout major metropolitan areas, and Malaysia delivers on that experience. <\/p>\n

Here are a few tips on where and how to best access free Wi-Fi in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Restaurants<\/h3>\n

\"kfc-malaysia\"<\/p>\n

The state governments of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor have made it mandatory for food outlets in their respective municipalities to provide a free Wi-Fi connection to customers. This service extends to eateries such as McDonalds, KFC and most restaurants throughout the nation. Buying a drink will allow you to access their Internet.<\/p>\n

Coffee shops<\/h3>\n

\"free-wifi-in-coffee-places\"<\/p>\n

As in most other countries, coffee shops usually offer free Wi-Fi and you will see people with their laptops working or procrastinating while sipping on their drinks. Mega chain coffee shops such as Starbucks, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, PappaRich, and Old Town White Coffee are all required to offer Wi-Fi by their parent group. <\/p>\n

Smartphone Apps<\/h3>\n

\"find-free-wifi-iphone-app\"<\/p>\n

There are a number of apps assisting you not only to track the nearest Wi-Fi, but also supply you with their passwords. An example is Kirill Kudin\u2019s free iPhone app<\/a>, which uses your phone\u2019s GPS and network triangulation capabilities to determine nearby Wi-Fi networks. The limitation of this free application is that it only allows you to search for free hotspots within a 1km radius. <\/p>\n

Stay safe<\/h3>\n

\nMake sure not to input sensitive information when using a public Wi-Fi. Hacking into the network and tracking its traffic is relatively easy. If you need to make payments, then look to see if you can use services such as paysafecard<\/a> – which can be bought for cash and allow the user to input a code online – than to be handing out your credit card details. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
