WiFiless
Lacking wireless internet
Without WiFi or wireless internet access.
The term describes situations, locations, or devices lacking connectivity: We spent a WiFiless week at the cabin.
It often carries a tone of deprivation or inconvenience, though sometimes suggests welcome disconnection: The WiFiless retreat forced us to actually talk to each other.
