Wi-Fi at the Airport
If you need to connect the internet whilst you are at Porto airport, there is a free Wi-Fi service available for all passengers. With this service, you can connect to the internet from any Wi-Fi enabled devices such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone.
This service is completely free and unlimited, and available throughout the terminal building. Before you can connect, you will be required to enter some personal information such as your email address and your home country.
The service offers download speeds in the region of 3 Mbps, and from my experience, this is consistent, even at peak times. The upload speed if approximately 2 Mbps. These speeds are more than adequate to check your emails, keep up to date with the latest news or chat with your friends via an app. If you intend to upload holiday photo to your Facebook account, it may seem a little slow for high-resolution images, and if you want to watch a movie, I would recommend you view it in standard definition (SD), as this speed is not suitable for high definition (HD) viewing.
If you are waiting in the VIP lounge, there is a separate Wi-Fi network available. The speed of the service is the same, but there are fewer people connected, so it may appear slightly faster.
