M-WLAN outdoor service to end by the end of 2026
Free M-WLAN in public spaces is being phased out: The City of Munich will gradually shut down its outdoor locations by the end of 2026. The main reasons are overlapping services such as BayernWLAN and a significant decline in usage. Many people now use mobile plans with large or unlimited data allowances or eSIMs to get online while on the go.
“Demand for public Wi-Fi has changed in recent years, while comparable services such as BayernWLAN are already available,” says Dr. Laura Dornheim, Head of Munich’s IT Department and Chief Digital Officer.
Important: The City of Munich’s Wi-Fi service in public buildings, schools and other municipal facilities will remain available.
Wifi Hotspots in Bars and Cafés
Ideal for anyone who needs a fast and free WiFi network at work, in their free time or on a tour of Munich: There are numerous hotspots with the free M-WLAN in Munich, especially in the city center.

- The encrypted radio network "M-WLAN Secure Wi-Fi".
In addition, there is also the free WLAN of Eduroam in the city center and at the Munich university locations, which is based on an international initiative of the universities.

How M-WLAN Free Wi-Fi works
With the unencrypted wireless network "M-WLAN Free Wi-Fi," the terms of use must be accepted regularly on a start page. Internet use is then possible. After 120 minutes, there is a forced disconnection and the terms of use must be confirmed again.
A speed limit is active per device to guarantee fair use for all (so-called "fair use policy").
How M-WLAN Secure Wi-Fi works
To use the encrypted wireless network "M-WLAN Secure Wi-Fi," registration with an e-mail address is first required via the "M-WLAN Free Wi-Fi" home page. The personal login data is then sent by e-mail and a maximum of three devices can log in using the same login data.
"M-WLAN Secure Wi-Fi" offers some advantages for regular users: an encrypted wireless connection and automatic login without a start page. A speed limit is also active here per device.
