When going on vacation, in every hotel or hotel or village residence should have a wifi connection, if not in the room at least in the common areas.
In most hotels, unfortunately, the wifi network is protected on access with a security system that varies from time to time.
In some cases there is the classic protection of wifi networks, the normal one to access the network that must be entered only the first time.
In other cases, however, the wifi network remains free to access, only to block internet browsing through a portal where you must accept the legal conditions and, in most cases, enter your login and password.
Especially in the latter cases, some problems may arise in the use of the Internet due to the security system that blocks and prevents browsing on all or only some websites or that can continuously request the login by logging out repeatedly.
Although most of the problems on the wifi of hotels, hotels, restaurants, bars etc., is caused by the router that manages the network, perhaps undersized or perhaps poorly configured, it may also be that our PC or smartphone is having difficulty .
In this article, we see what can be done to connect to the wifi of hotels or places with public wifi and solve problems if you are unable to access or maintain a stable and fast connection .

1) Connection active, but impossible to open the login page (an Android exclamation mark appears next to the wifi).
The problem, these cases, may be due to the fact that you try to open an https site.
The https connection, being encrypted, prevents the browser from redirecting the connection to the network access portal.
The solution can be to access the wifi network by opening the neverssl.com website on your PC or phone browser, designed specifically to solve wifi problems in these cases.
Then open Nveressl and the connection should automatically open the login page to the wifi network.
NOTE: Android phones this problem should never occur because the system automatically detects if a wifi network needs authentication and displays a notification saying " the Wifi network requires access ".
By touching the notification, the system tries to connect to the connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204 site and then brings up the login page without going through the browser.
2) Connection active and working with login, but to be repeated continuously
If we can connect to the public network of the hotel, but the connection skips or does not remember the login requesting it continuously, on Android smartphones there is a solution given by the Wifi Web Login application, which allows you to remember the login and password of the wifi with access as a portal and which also works well with networks that simply require you to accept the conditions.
3) The connection is activated but does not receive an IP address assignment or the connection is limited or absent .
In these cases, usually, there is nothing to do, because the hotel wifi is poorly configured or to be restored.
So all you can do is go to the reception to report the problem that always depends only on them.
First, however, it is worth making an attempt by eliminating the wifi network and reactivating it.
On Android smartphones you can also try the automatic Wifi Fixer application, which does not work miracles, but can fix things if the problem of connecting to the network depends on the phone.

4) The hotel's wifi connection is very unstable
If the wifi connection disconnects often the reasons can be different, including above all poor signal quality and interference on the hotel wifi.
Usually the problem depends on who manages the network, but to be sure, if you are using an Android smartphone or tablet, you should check that there is no application or an energy saving setting that automatically deactivates the wifi.
In particular, check that the option of Wifi suspension, (to be searched in Settings> Wifi> Advanced ) is not activated.
5) The wifi connection is active, but websites are not opened
Although this is probably a problem that depends on the manager of the wifi network, therefore from the hotel or restaurant where we are, you can still try to solve it by changing DNS.
In other articles we have seen how to change DNS on PC and Mac and how to change DNS on Android and iPhone.

6) Some sites work, others don't
If the internet works but not for all websites, the hotel may have set a filter to block navigation on certain websites.
To unblock the network and visit all the sites you want, you can try using a VPN service to surf for free.
In another article, we also listed the best VPN apps for Android and iPhone.
7) We do not have a password and login to access the internet
If the wifi connection to the hotel or bar or restaurant is free and free, but requires a login to access and we do not have the password, if you have a little time to lose, you can do some interesting experiments and try anyway. to access.
We spoke, in another article, of how to bypass secure wifi login to access the internet, explaining simple and basic methods, which in some cases can also work.
To finish the article, I would like to point out that there is a website that classifies all the hotels in the world based on the speed of the wifi network and internet connection.
The site is Hotelwifitest.com where you can search for each hotel and see the quality score of the hotels Wifi connection .
On this site it is also possible to measure the quality of the internet connection of our hotel and store the score obtained for the next customers.
