unwired

Free from cords

Unwired means not connected by wires.

A device that's unwired operates wirelessly or has been disconnected from cables: The laptop worked fine unwired.

The term also describes a state of being disconnected from technology or the internet—unplugged from constant connectivity: She spent a week unwired at the cabin.

In older usage, unwired could mean lacking electrical wiring entirely.
