What is a TWC Access Pass?
If you don't subscribe to Time Warner Cable's Standard Internet speed or above, Business Class Internet or Mobile Internet, you can still access our TWC WiFi hotspots by using a TWC Access Pass. These can be purchased when you first connect to a TWC WIFi hotspot to give you access for an hour, 24 hrs, 7 days or 30 days. You can also try our TWC Access Pass for free for 30 minutes. TWC Access Pass for purchase is not available in NYC.
How does a free TWC Access Pass work?
You will be sent an access code to your mobile phone. Connect to a TWC WiFi hotspot and log in with your code to receive 30 minutes of free access time.
When will the 30 minutes free access time begin?
Access time will start when you access the network for the first time using your access code.
If I disconnect from the network before the 30 minutes are expired, can I use the remaining time at a later time, or will time keep expiring?
Yes. You can log back into the network and use the remaining time on your access code by clicking on "I already have an access code" on the main TWC WiFi™ login page.
Will the access code sent to my mobile phone expire?
Yes. Access codes sent to mobile phones expire after 30 days.
Can I have more than one TWC Access Code sent to my phone?
No. Once a TWC Access Code is sent to a mobile phone, no other codes can be sent to it.
If I had a TWC Access Code sent to my mobile phone, do I have to use my mobile phone to connect to TWC WiFi™?
No. You can connect using any WiFi enabled device.
Is there a limit on the number of devices I can use to connect using a single TWC Access Code?

TWC WiFi Technical Support
What is WiFi?
WiFi is a popular term for a wireless technology based on an industry standard known as IEEE 802.11. Devices that meet this standard are called "WiFi devices" and enable the user to connect to the Internet without wires. WiFi enabled devices include: laptops, tablets, desktop computers, smart phones, MP3 players and personal game consoles. If you do not know if your device is a wireless device, check your available network connections. If wireless is available, the list of wireless connections (SSIDs) will be displayed.
What is an SSID? Is this the same as a hotspot?
A service set identifier (SSID) is a name broadcast from an 802.11 wireless access point or "hotspot". To get consistent, secure coverage from a provider you know and trust, always choose the network name or SSID TWCWifi if it is available.
Do I need an app or special software to connect to TWC WiFi™?
No, you do not need any special applications or software to connect to TWC WiFi™. You can use the wireless connection finder and software that comes with your WiFi-enabled device.
Which web browsers can I use to login to TWC WiFi™?
TWC WiFi™ works with all major web browsers on most WiFi-enabled devices (e.g. laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.)
Which operating systems can I use with Time Warner Cable WiFi?
TWC WiFi™ works with any operating system that supports a WiFi network adapter and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network connection.
Are TWC WiFi hotspots secure?
Your computer will stay protected from unwanted users accessing it when you connect to a network if you have a built-in firewall. Many devices have built-in firewall protection but if yours does not, you can purchase firewall software programs at a reasonable cost.
Will my company's Virtual Private Network (VPN) work with TWC WiFi™?
Yes, most VPNs are designed to work with hotspot networks including TWC WiFi. If you have trouble using your VPN over the TWC WiFi network, consult your company's IT department for support.
What if I see the TWCWiFi network but still can't connect?
If you see TWCWiFi and still can't connect, check your WiFi-enabled device to see how many signal bars are present. If you have few bars, move to a different location to get a stronger signal and check our Coverage Map for other hotspot locations nearby. If your WiFi-enabled device and software are working properly and you still cannot get online call us at 888-851-9350.
