Free WiFi access is provided by the airport, but the strength of signal varies, so it pays to move around until you find a good spot.

Unfortunately as Dubai Airport is now very busy at any time of the day or night it can  mean it is hard to find good signal strength and somewhere to sit in comfort to access the internet in the same place!  Try the seats away from the centre near the Emirates Business lounges.

For power points look along the walls as you move out from the centre of the terminal, they can be found but you will have to sit on the floor amongst sleeping transit passengers. Once again start by looking by the two Emirates business lounges. You may also be able to pick up Emirates WiFi service from the lounge as a bonus. Mobile connection is good throughout the airport.

So in summary WiFi is good, but you need to hunt,  Mobile reception is Fine and powerpoints are there but again you have to hunt. Comfort is low due to number of people and the difficulty in finding somewhere to sit, but WiFi is free so scores high on cost.

Updates and input are all welcome.
