How to access the login page of a public Wi-Fi.Connecting to the Wi-Fi of a bar or hotel is a good way to save data when you are away from home. If you also carry your laptop with you, it is likely that you have no choice, unless you want to use your mobile as a router to access the internet.With some public Wi-Fi, the connection process is quite simple: you just enter the password and try to connect. Just like when you connect to Wi-Fi at home.
But things change when we try to connect to the Wi-Fi of an official body, such as the Wi-Fi of the library, of a public park or the Wi-Fi of your nearest shopping center. These usually use a system that requires us to enter a username, email or other verification method as a previous step to be able to browse the internet. Even if we are already connected to the Wi-Fi network in question.
How to access the login page of a public Wi-Fi.
This user or access email must be entered in the login page of the Wi-Fi network. At first, it doesn’t seem very complicated, does it? In general, this home page will load automatically in the browser when we connect to Wi-Fi for the first time, so it should not be a problem, but unfortunately it is not something that always happens.
1- Open the browser and load a URL
The simplest solution in these cases is to try to load a page in the browser (try Google or any other page that comes to mind, such as elandroidefeliz.com ). This will redirect the browser to the login page and we can validate access.
2- Restart the PC
If the first trick does not work, the easiest thing is to disconnect and reconnect the Wi – Fi of our device. As an alternative, we can also restart the device completely and re-establish the Wi-Fi connection to see if it automatically loads the login page.
3- Try to connect to the router
If you use Windows, open a terminal window by pressing Win + R and typing the command “cmd”. Then execute the command “ipconfig” and among all the data displayed on the screen write down the IP shown in “Default gateway”.
Now open the browser and enter that IP in the address bar. Hopefully, this action should force the login page to load on the Wi-Fi network.
4- Load the home page in the browser
After trying all the basics, the next step is to try to “guess” the URL of the login page. For this we can try to enter several addresses in the browser.
- http://192.168.1.1
- http://192.168.0.1
- http: // localhost
- net
- com
- 8.8.8
- com
- apple.com
If none of these URLs redirect us to the login page, then try clearing the data from your browser’s cache. This can be done by entering the browser history or by pressing the Ctrl + Shift + Del keys .Also remember that if you have alternative DNS configured this can cause problems. Deactivate them and try to connect to the Wi-Fi network again with the default DNS of the device.
