Step by step

## How to connect to Trenitalia Wi-Fi on a Mac

1. Join `WiFi Frecciarossa` on Frecciarossa, `Wifi Frecciargento` on Frecciargento, or `WifiFrecce` in FrecciaClub and FrecciaLounge.
2. Open your browser and go to `www.frecciaplay.it` if the portal doesn’t open by itself.

Trenitalia lists two Frecciarossa networks, one ending in a full stop. The free FrecciaPlay app for iOS and Android is an alternative to the browser.

This Wi-Fi wants you to sign in

Open sign-in page

### Sign-in page didn’t open? Free:

A VPN, iCloud Private Relay or your own DNS can hide the sign-in page. Kilobat notices the network is waiting and opens the page in one click. Turn the VPN on again once you’re signed in.

Free or paid

On board with Kilobat

## Make a shared train link go further

Kilobat is a Mac menu-bar app that shows what each app sends and holds back what can wait. On Trenitalia Wi-Fi on board:

- **The sign-in page.** When it doesn’t open by itself, the menu bar says **This Wi-Fi wants you to sign in**, with **Open sign-in page**. Turn your VPN on again after you’ve signed in. Free:
- **Why it can’t connect.** When a VPN, iCloud Private Relay or custom DNS hides the sign-in page, Kilobat names the layer that broke: VPN, DNS or the network. Free:
- **See what’s using it.** Every app’s upload and download, live in the menu bar, so you know which one is taking the shared link. Free:
- **Mark it metered.** macOS treats train Wi-Fi as unlimited. Mark it **Metered** and Kilobat skips its own speed tests; with automatic switching, Travel blocks backups and the like on that network. Pro:
- **Send later.** A big upload, such as Dropbox syncing a folder, can wait until you’re on unmetered Wi-Fi again, for up to eight hours while Kilobat is open. Pro:

[Download for Mac ↓](https://kilobat.app/downloads/Kilobat-1.33.1.dmg?via=site)

```
brew install seifip/kilobat/kilobat
```

Pro is $29 once for two Macs, with a 7-day free trial and 14-day refunds. More in [saving hotspot data](https://kilobat.app/save-hotspot-data).

**What is eating your bandwidth?** Live traffic for every app, right in your menu bar. Catch the backup choking your call.

**Hotspot data gone in an hour?** Travel blocks backups, and updaters wait until you’re off the hotspot. The apps keep working.

## Questions

**Is Frecciarossa Wi-Fi free?**

Yes. Trenitalia presents it as free, with no authentication required.

**Do I need an account for Frecciarossa Wi-Fi?**

No. On Frecciarossa you accept the terms and you’re online. Frecciargento needs a one-off registration.

**What is the Trenitalia Wi-Fi network called?**

Trenitalia names these networks `WiFi Frecciarossa` and `Wifi Frecciargento` and `WifiFrecce`. Join it, then sign in on the page that opens.

**Can you use a VPN on Trenitalia Wi-Fi?**

Trenitalia’s Frecciarossa troubleshooting asks you to disable any active VPN, close its processes and update the VPN app if you can’t connect.

**Why won’t the Trenitalia Wi-Fi sign-in page open on my Mac?**

A VPN, iCloud Private Relay or your own DNS can keep the page from opening. Turn them off, open `http://captive.apple.com` in Safari, and turn the VPN on again after you’ve signed in. Kilobat shows **Open sign-in page** when a network is waiting for you.
