Downtown Wi-Fi outage
Mountain View’s free public outdoor Wi-Fi service is temporarily offline this week for a scheduled system upgrade involving equipment replacement.
The Wi-Fi service, which covers the downtown area and shows up on devices as MVWiFi, was unavailable starting on Monday. The service is expected to be restored in stages over the next seven to 10 days, according to a city news release.
Indoor Wi-Fi service is still available at the public library, senior center, community center and teen center, the city said.
The city described the equipment replacement as a major upgrade to its Wi-Fi system.
