Bangalore: Here is a reason for Facebook users to rejoice. The social network is reportedly testing a new Wi-Fi hotspot service for local businesses, which will allow users to free internet access if they do a Facebook check-in.

So you may no longer have to repeatedly type the Wi-Fi passwords at coffee shops. The Facebook router will direct customers to the business’ Facebook page once they log in.

"We are currently running a small test with a few local businesses of a Wi-Fi router that is designed to offer a quick and easy way to access free Wi-Fi after checking in on Facebook," the company confirmed to Inside Facebook.

"When you access Facebook Wi-Fi by checking in, you are directed to your local business’s Facebook Page," it said.

Developer Tom Waddington is credited with discovering the test when he found a new entry called “social wifi” in the “Like sources” section of the Insights API.

While businesses would still provide the Internet access, Facebook would provide a router. Page owners would be able to monitor how many new ‘Likes’ the page received from those who used the Wi-Fi service.

Visitors who don’t want to jump through the Facebook hoop could still access the network via a password from the business, the report said.
