Re: Access Fon Spots overseas
I'm in Paris and cannot connect to a Fon network. All seem to be SRF Wifi Network (Telstra lookalike in France) and whilst my iPad joins the network, it drops out after a few seconds. I can join cafe and hotel networks ok. Any solution?

When do I become eligible to use BT Fon spots?

I have signed up to BT today, but our activation date is 13th December. In the meantime, is it possible to use BT openzone and BT fon spots? I have an account username and password but it won't let my log on at the hotspots.
Thanks,
Chris

I asked this exact same question in the BB in home forum, it would be really useful for me to.
Seems like a potentially a good product differentiator for BT here... if they could enable as soon as you placed the order. No other ISP would be able to offer it quite the same way... O2 and orange could only come close with 3G but then that has assoicated hardware and provisioining costs...

Cannot access work emails overseas via wifi

I have both a work IPad and IPhone which I have taken with me overseas for work and I have repeated these steps on both devices several times utilizing several different WiFi locations:
When I arrived overseas I switched off mobile data so I am not charged roaming rates etc
I found a free wifi connection and successfully connected to this
I went into CISCO AnyConnect: AnyConnect VPN "on" ; STATUS "connected' ;tick is shown next to iOSMobilrVPN-FF
I go into my emails and load it up as per normal but it tells me that it has been updated when it hasn't because I have not received any emails now for two weeks isn't right because I normally get more than 30 a day.
Sometimes I get "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed" but AnyConnect VPN tells me I am connected
A colleague of mine is able to access his work emails with no issues overseas and showed me the steps above but despite my attempts I have yet to get any resolve.
Please help!

Accessing FON / Openzone

Hi,
I have just subscribed to the BBA package and have bought the HTC Hero phone (which I am delighted with). Can someone please tell me how I access BT FON or Openzone when in one of their hotspots? I've seen reference to landing pages, but do I need to bookmark these pages or should they be automatically presented when in a hotspot?

With your wi-fi switched on, and in range of an Openzone hotspot, you may have to connect manually the first time (look at the list of available netowrks, then select Openzone and hit connect... not sure of specifics there as I'm a WinMo user) after you've connected once, it sould automatically connect whenever you're in range of an openzone hotspot.
Now, the landing page... you don't need to bookmark this as you browser will automaticaly be directed to it when you open up the browser. You can then put in your login details and away you go. There are 3rd party apps what can allow you to automate this... well, there is for WinMo, and I'm sure there is one for Android, perhaps one of the Hero users will chip in with ideas.
Cheers
Alun

Telstra Air - Frequently Asked Questions

What is Telstra Air®?
Telstra Air is Telstra’s new Wi-Fi network. Eligible Telstra Home Broadband customers can become Telstra Air members and use their home broadband allowance out and about, via our network of Wi-Fi hotspots.
If customers have an eligible Telstra home broadband service and a compatible gateway, they can become a member. Their compatible gateway creates a Telstra Air hotspot that others can use. Members share some of their home internet bandwidth at home in return for accessing their home broadband allowance at Telstra Air hotspots across Australia and at over 15 million Fon Spots overseas. Over time, by sharing, we expect members will co-create a community of hundreds of thousands of hotspots across Australia.
The launch of Telstra Air follows the rollout of a trial network of more than 2,600 hotspots at payphone sites nationally and a free trial of the technology that saw over 1.5 million individual users connect.
How can customers access the network?
Telstra Air is available to customers with an eligible Telstra home broadband service and a compatible gateway. New customers taking up an eligible bundle with a compatible gateway will be offered a Telstra Air membership as part of their bundle (they can opt out when buying the bundle). Existing customers can visit www.telstra.com/joinair to find out the best way to join.
Do existing customers have to opt in?
Existing eligible customers have to opt in to the new service by visiting www.telstra.com/joinair. Existing eligible Telstra home broadband customers without an eligible gateway will need to upgrade to a compatible gateway to become a member. Customers can purchase gateways outright or on monthly repayment options.
How do customers know if they have a compatible gateway?
There are four home network gateways that are Telstra Air-ready allowing eligible customers to become a member. They are the
Telstra Gateway Max™ (ADSL/NBN TG799 device and Cable CG6300 device)
T-Gateway (ADSL/NBN TG797 device) and
ADSL Premium Gateway (TG587).
A firmware update enabling the broadcasting of Telstra Air and Fon signals will be applied to a customer’s gateway when they sign up, if it has not already happened. Customers can go into their gateway settings (http://mygateway) to check if the upgrade has been successful – they will see “Telstra Air” appear in their gateway interface. The hotspot will only be switched on once a customer has chosen to become a Telstra Air member.
At launch, approximately 700,000 of our Telstra Broadband customers already have Telstra-Air ready gateways.
At what point are customers Air member – does the gateway need to be active or is just when they opt in?
Customers become Telstra Air members once their order has been submitted in our CRM (Siebel). It’s at this stage that we automatically send them a welcome email (the ‘opt-in’ KMI). Gateway installation and broadband service activation can occur at a later date.
How do I know if my existing Home Broadband Service is eligible for Telstra Air?
Telstra Air is available to ADSL, Cable and NBN home broadband customers.
Customers need a Telstra Gateway Max™, T-Gateway® or an ADSL Premium Gateway.
If customers don’t have an eligible Telstra home broadband service they can head in store or call 132 200 to discuss their options.
*Naked Cable broadband customers are unable to join Telstra Air.
What happens if I want to bring my own gateway?
If you use your own gateway, you will not be eligible for Telstra Air, as you won’t be able to share with the community. If you had joined the community and have chosen to replace your Telstra Gateway with another non-compatible gateway, your Telstra Air membership will be withdrawn.
How do new bundle customers join?
New bundle customers with an eligible broadband service and compatible gateway will be informed about becoming a member when they sign up to their new service and can decide then if they would like to become a member. Our new Telstra Premier Bundles include a Telstra Gateway Max™ for new customers.
New Telstra home broadband customers will be able access Telstra Air hotspots in Australia before their home broadband service is activated. They will receive an email when they can connect with information on how to get started, usually within 2 days of ordering.
Is the service free?
Telstra Air allows eligible broadband customers to use their Telstra home broadband allowance when they connect to a Telstra Air hotspot. Unless customers need to upgrade their gateway, there is no additional cost to join the community.
Can I use Telstra Air if I am not a Telstra Air customer?
Currently, you can’t access the Telstra Air Network using your home broadband allowance if you’re not a Telstra Air member. Non Telstra Air members can buy a Fon guest pass for the residential part of our network. We are working on providing guest passes for the Telstra built (e.g. payphone sites) part of the network for later this year.
Why are the BigPond Unmetered/Green Dot sites metered on Telstra Air?
Unmetering of BigPond is available in the home and on some of our mobile services – it’s not available on Wi-Fi.
That said, with the recent increases we have made to the majority of our fixed broadband customers’ data allowances we believe they will have ample data to access the internet via Telstra Air.
When will non members be able to buy a guest pass for all of the hotspots?
We are working on providing guest passes for the Telstra built (e.g. payphone sites) part of the network for launch later this year.
Why is Telstra not able to offer a guest pass for Telstra-run hotspots at launch?
Our core focus has been on ensuring Telstra home broadband customers who join Telstra Air can access the network using their home broadband allowance. We want to offer all Australians, irrespective of whether they are a Telstra customer or not, access to two million Wi-Fi hotspots across the nation within five years. We are working on providing guest passes for the Telstra built (e.g. payphone sites) part of the network later this year.
Can a customer share their Telstra Air membership with family and friends?
Telstra Air Network access is given to the owner of the home broadband account. Customers can access Telstra Air on multiple devices by using their unique details to login, but only a maximum of 3 devices can connect to the Telstra Air Network in Australia at any given time.
Any usage at a Telstra Air hotspot will count towards a customer’s home broadband data allowance.
What’s the difference between the Telstra ID username and the Telstra Air username?
Telstra ID username is what customers use to log in to My Account and other Telstra online services. Customers will also use the Telstra ID for accessing the Telstra Air Network. If customers don’t have a Telstra ID, they can register for one online with their account number.
Telstra Air username ends in @wifi.telstra.com and can be used to access the Fon Wi-Fi hotspots when overseas when using the local captive portal to login. The login details can be found in My Account Telstra Air username where users can also reset their password.
What is a Fon Wi-Fi pass and how can you purchase one?
Fon Wi-Fi passes allow non-Telstra Air members the ability to access the hotspot that is broadcast from Telstra Air home gateways and Fon Spots overseas.
Customers can do this by connecting to the “Fon Wi-Fi” network and purchasing their pass from the Fon login page.
Can I continue to use Telstra Air if I have reached my data allowance at home?
No. If you use up your Telstra home broadband data allowance when you are out and about you won't be able to access the Telstra Air hotspots until you enter a new billing period, or use one of your 3 annual data top ups.
How much power will my modem use and will it impact my electricity bill?
No. While the Telstra Air modems will broadcast two Wi-Fi channels, our testing shows very minimal incremental power consumption.
CONNECTING TO TELSTRA AIR
How many devices can I connect to the Telstra Air Network™ at any given time?
Telstra Air members can connect up to 3 Wi-Fi devices to the Telstra Air Network in Australia at any given time, using your Telstra ID.
You can connect your devices to a Telstra Air hotspot as long as you:
Are a member of the Telstra Air community
Have a Wi-Fi enabled device
Are within range of a Telstra Air hotspot
Have connected to the “Telstra Air” network using your Telstra ID username and password or via the Telstra Air App
What’s the difference between Telstra Air app and Telstra 24x7 app?
The Telstra Air app enables an automated connection experience for Telstra Air members to our Telstra Air hotspots across Australia and millions of Fon Spots overseas on iOS and Android devices. The app also includes a hotspot map so customers can find their nearest hotspot when out and about. Customers can access the Telstra Air Network using the app provided they are a Telstra customer with an eligible home broadband service, compatible gateway and have become a Telstra Air member.
The Telstra 24x7 App allows customers to manage their Telstra services in one place. Customers can view how much they have used on their Telstra home broadband data allowance, current and past bill summaries, pay bills, purchase data packs, take advantage of the Telstra THANKS discounted movie ticket offer and access support. A link to the Telstra Air app is also included within 24x7.
Can customers get the Telstra Air App on their BlackBerry or Windows Phone?
No. Unfortunately the Telstra Air app is not available on BlackBerry or Windows devices at this time. Telstra Air members with these devices can still connect using a log-in page where they can enter their Telstra Digital Identity username and password.
IN HOME SERVICE
Will Telstra Air impact the performance of a customer’s Home Broadband service?
If a customer is a Telstra Air member their Telstra Gateway creates a separate Wi-Fi hotspot that others can use. When others use this hotspot, it doesn't impact the customer’s broadband allowance, it only shares a portion of their home broadband bandwidth.
We know that Wi-Fi speeds are important to our customers so we have put in place network settings are in place to ensure their home network performance is protected. This includes limiting the number of guests per hotspot and switching off hotspot sharing when the line speed into a home drops below a certain level.
What is the service limit set at?
We have set an engineering limit that we will adjust over time base on customer feedback.
How can customers disconnect from the Telstra Air Network?
To disconnect from the Telstra Air Network, customers can simply turn the Wi-Fi off on their device. This will force their device to disconnect from Telstra Air.
Alternatively, if a customer has the Telstra Air App installed on their Android device, they can open the app and hit the ‘Disconnect’ button.
On Android and iOS devices you can also choose to ‘forget’ a network. This will mean that your device will delete your login details to the network, and when you are in range, your device will not try to automatically connect to it. To do this, open the Wi-Fi network list in your device settings, tap the network name, and select the ‘Forget’ button.
As the home broadband user, does my data use in the home get priority over others sharing it?
We have service rules in place to ensure that only a portion of the home broadband customer's Wi-Fi bandwidth is available to share with other the hotspot users. These rules determine when the hotspot is available for Telstra Air members to access which helps protect the customer experience of the home broadband user.
HOTSPOT SERVICE
What are the speeds like when connected to the Telstra Air Network?
Given this is a Wi-Fi network, speeds may vary depending on your proximity to our hotspots, the number of others connected to the same hotspot, and the device you are using. We expect that customers will be able to undertake activities such as sending emails, uploading photos and browsing the internet when they are using the Telstra Air Network™.
Is there a time limit on how long customers can be connected to the Telstra Air Network?
Customers can access Telstra Air hotspots for as long as you like. However, after 20 minutes of inactivity or 12 hours of continuous connection, your connection will time out and you’ll need to reconnect.
Is there a map that can help customers find where they can connect to Telstra Air?
Yes. Customers can find Telstra Air hotspots by using the Telstra Air App or by visiting Telstra.com/air and selecting “Find a Hotspot” to open the interactive Wi-Fi Hotspot Locator.
We use pin points to identify public hotspots, while a heat map will indicate the general areas where home gateways are broadcasting Telstra Air.
What is the range like on a Telstra Air hotspot?
Generally speaking Wi-Fi hotspots have a range of up to 20 metres indoors but in optimal conditions can reach up to 50 metres outdoors.
However, the range of a Wi-Fi hotspot can be impacted by a number of factors including surrounding buildings, interference from other wireless devices, weather conditions and the number of other users.
We recommend customers stay close to the hotspot and keep an eye on their device’s Wi-Fi signal strength.
Overseas Use
How can customers connect to Fon Spots when travelling overseas?
Customers can connect to Fon Wi-Fi Hotspots (known as Fon Spots) using the Telstra Air App, the same way they use it in Australia.
If you don’t have the App you can login manually.
Turn on your device’s Wi-Fi
Select “Fon WiFi” from your Wi-Fi network list
Once you have connected to the Fon Wi-Fi network, open your web browser.
Enter your @wifi.telstra.com username and password into the Fon login page
The @wifi.telstra.com username and password is available in My Account
How do you find Fon Spots?
The Telstra Air app shows where Fon Spots are overseas. If you don’t have the app customers can go to Telstra.com/wifi to find out where they are.
Fon Spots can be found in the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Spain, Italy and in the Moscow region of Russia.
How many devices can be connected to a Fon hotspot?
When connecting overseas only 1 device can be connected at a given time to the Fon network. This means if you want to use Fon Wi-Fi on 2 devices while overseas, you will have to first disconnect from Fon on one of them, before connecting the other one.
PRICING AND USAGE ALLOWANCES
What is the pricing structure for each of the offers?
For our fixed broadband customers Telstra Air membership is included in their plan or Bundle price, as long as they have an eligible broadband service and a compatible gateway. As a Telstra Air member, data usage at Telstra Air hotspots and Fon Spots will count towards your home broadband allowance, including usage at sites that are unmetered from your home broadband service such as BigPond Movies, Presto, Foxtel Go and our BigPond unmetered sites.
How are customers charged when accessing the Fon network overseas?
As a Telstra Air member there is no additional charge for accessing Fon overseas - any data used at Fon Spots overseas will count towards the customer's home broadband allowance.
Security
How secure is the Telstra Air Network?
Providing a secure and easy Wi-Fi experience for customers is important to us.
Like most public Wi-Fi services, browsing sessions on Telstra Air are open with the communication between a computing device and the wireless point unencrypted. We recommend to customers that it’s okay to use the service for general web browsing and for streaming content, however any activity that requires a secure connection such as internet banking should be done via a mobile or fixed broadband service.
If customers are wanting to share personal information when they’re out and about should consider:
Using a mobile network connection
Using a VPN app which in initiates the exclusive connection from the computing device
Or checking that the site they would like to use has HTTPS to protect their exchanged data before proceeding. HTTPS is in wide use on popular sites such as Facebook which started offering it in 2011.
What customer information is collected when connected to a Telstra Air hotspot?
Once you are confirmed as a member of the Telstra Air network we don’t monitor your internet usage other than how much data you use from your FBB account.

Hi,
Kindly search google and I am sure you will get lots of inputs.

Re: Understand Telstra Air data use
How is a "portion" of my home broadband used for others when I sign up to Telstra Air? My cable connection is often very slow (?), So I am assuming when you let others use it, it will be even slower!?
If you are allowing access to my home network to others once I sign up for Telstra Air what security do I have have?

BTFON / Free etc

I'm only looking into this for the first time today, as I'm considering getting a laptop.
At first reading, it looks great - Free WiFi for all BT BB users, all over the Country.
I have a couple of questions:
1/ BT FON:
Am I right in thinking that all HomeHub users are potentially 'Hot Spots' - for others to use ?
If so, does anyone know how many of us will allow it to be used as such ? The message on the 'search map' says "The WiFi signal is subject to the BT Fon owner making the hotspot available. BT has no control over this".
Do BT know what percentage of BTFon owners will be making their hotspots available ?
2/ FREE:
One of the first things that met my eyes when searching the site, was BUY vouchers (Buy 2 get 1 Free).
O.K - this may seem clear to some of you, but I guess I'm not the only one that needs things explaining.
thanks for reading

BTFON should do the same as their FON partners do. As an original FON member I can only access FON spots if I transmit from my FON router (Fonera2) . If my signal is switched off for more than 6 weeks I lose my access. This is a sure way of getting the million live hotspots that BTFON falsely claim in the ads. It's a bit like their false broadband and TV claims. Smooth-talking ads, but no substance.

Can't connect to fon or x

Ok, I'm stumped at the moment and would appreciate any help or suggestions. I'll try to explain all I've done so far to fix my fault..
Basically, I use my parents BT wifi details with their permission, while I'm living away from home for uni. I have an iMac that has been connecting to my local bt wifi with fon hot spot and I have an iPhone 4s that sometimes connects to the same hotspot but also to a BT wifi X hotspot when it has better signal.
My problem is that both devices have stopped working on both hotspots but my phone is fine on any others I've come across.
Currently, my imac connects and gets strong signal strength to the BT wifi with FON spot BUT I cannot get the landing page to load. It forever loads, stuck, no timeout.
My iPhone also no longer has the BT wifi app as I deleted it to attempt reinstalling but my 3G is too pants out here to download it again.
That said, I have tried each step below on my phone and attempted reconnecting after each to resolve my problem:
I cleared and reset safari
forgot both BT networks in my wifi settings
reset network settings
deleted the BT wifi X profile, reinstalled it
deleted it a second time
deleted the app to try and manually get to the landing page on the FON spot
reset the phone
Each time, the iphone has acquired the same IP address of 10.55.241.45, gets full signal but on trying to access the landing page (www.btopenzone:8443/home) it just sits there, no timing out, attempting to load.
Now I cannot connect to my BT wifi X spot at all and the FON spot connects, issues an IP and just sits there.
Called wifi support tonight and they can't help so now I'm stumped with another 6 months here and no internet. Unless one of u guys has any light to shed.
Someone said the customer who owns the hot spot may have hard reset their hub or swapped it for a non-standard one....so I'm guessing if that's the only other possibility, I really am stuck with only my poor 3G.
Solved!

It sounds as though the hot spot owner has either disconnected their broadband connection or they have a line fault, the wifi is still working but there is obviously no internet connection. Such are the problems of depending on somebody else's connection!

A question from UK WiFi network BT/FON

The BT/Fon advertises this Free WiFi net work created through a network they claim freely available throughout world.
The Fon site claims the following: +As a member of the Fon community, you agree to share a little bit of your WiFi at home, and get free roaming at Fon Spots worldwide in return. Sharing WiFi with Fon is safe and secure , and you wont even notice when others are connected because Fon only uses a tiny portion of your bandwidth.+
Has anybody with experience if the iPad works seamlessly in those Free WiFi net works?
Regards

BTFon uses the Home Hub 2 which has two built in WiFi transmitters .
One is your own use with WPA security the second is the Fon bit.It has a WEP security code.
Your internal own network ALWAYS has bandwidth priority and depending on your adsl input and distance from a BT exchange/Green box will give you something between 2mb and advertised maximum of 20MB ( Don't expect this to be achieved via copper local loop- Tops are 12-15mb).
The BT fon service available to home broadband subscribers and Orange Mobile gives you a log in user name and password, and is just an extension of the BT Openzone hotspot service.
BT can identify all subscribers accordingly and it is a secure link (In so far as WEP can be considered secure)
The BTfon user and the Home Hub 2 subscriber can NOT see each other at any time as the sub net masks differ.
You Have NO access to modify the BTFon bit as it is firmware locked.
However you rarely get much more than half to three quarters of a mb connection because you don't know how far you are from the base station and as said above the user has priority.
I have connected to a few BTFon services with both my iPhone and iPad in several locations around London but you usually get better speed over 3G !

Spot On Networks and wireless printing with AE

I moved to a condo that supplies internet access through Spot On Network's built-in wireless connection.
I am used to having a DSL provide internet access which was connected to an Airport Extreme that also acted as a wireless router to my printer.
Now that I connect to Spot On for my internet connection, I no longer have the capability of using my airport extreme as a wireless router to my printer, since I cannot be connected to BOTH Spot On and the AE.
Or can I? Does anyone out there know of any way of using both a Spot On connection and an AE connection for my wireless printing?

I have the same problem. Uninstalled software, installed what I thought was the right software. No go. Reinstalled first software so I'm back to at least printing wired.

Access Hotel Wireless

I will be staying at a hotel that uses ibahn for their wireless access. When you connect you must go to a secure logon page and accept their terms of service. I did this on my MacBook and when I open Safari it went to one of my bookmarked pages then got redirected to their page to accept the terms of service.
I tired the same procedure on my iPhone 3G and it just tried to load the page with no success. I even went and open a new page in Safari and refreshed the page and nothing happened it did not even try to load a page.
Is there a setting or something that needs to be done to get to their page to accept their terms of service? All of my phone setting for Safari are set to the default settings with no VPN connections or anything.
This access point goes not require you to put in a passcode or anything you just need to accept their terms of service. I can connect just fine and pickup an ip address with subnet and a DNS entry. It is just strange the phone does not redirect me to their page.
Any ideas or experiences with issues like this? Thank you in advance for any posts and ideas.

For my setting under cookies I have From Visited. So that could be the issue, since I have never visited that site and maybe should change it to Always and see what happens.
For visiting hotspots that require this sort of access this is the only one I came across that had this sort of access. Most are wide open or just require you to input a passcode to access the spot and you are in.
Thank for the advise and I will let you know what happens!

Foneras and BT Fons

Hello
I have been using a La Fonera+ with a different ISP and have now moved to BT and have a couple of questions.
Can I still use my Fonera+ to take advantage of the FON Free WiFi or will I have to change my router to a Homehub and use BT FON?
If I still allow access through my Fonera+ will any users eat away my BT usage allowance or will it be 'ignored' the same as the 'BT FON' access?
Thanks

If you have migrated to BT as a BB customer you have unlimited access to Fon.
You should register on the Fon landing page using your primary bt email address and password. You also have access to BT Openzone.
I would advise in the light of the above that you delete your Fonera a/c unless you still wish to use it in conjunction with BT Fon / BT OZ.
You can only access Fon via your BT homehub. You should have been issued with a BT home hub on becoming a customer.
The effortlessly simple way to do Fon / OZ is via your BT home hub.

BT FON 24hr pass

Today around 3pm I purchased a 24hr pass to use the BT FON hot spot, as I have a lot of university work to finish and hand in, I though it would be convenient and its a bit cheap. After purchasing the pass I had an internet connection for all of 1 hour before the signal completely disappeared. 8hrs later the signal returned at 11pm when I am tired and about to go to bed, I work saturday morning and including the fact that I need to sleep, this random strong signal is no use to me. As I am VERY dissatisfied and disappointed with this service I would like my money back. Someone needs to make it happen. I know its only £5 but its the principal, and the fact that the system is taking hours away that I haven't used is a bit rubbish. And if I cant get my money back I would like the 8hrs back where the signal magically disappeared re-instated to use at another time, possibly when the signal doesn't magically disappear.

Welcome. If it was a Fon spot from a hub, the owner probably turned it off.

The range of a Telstra Air® hotspot
Wi-Fi hotspots have a range of up to 20 metres indoors but in optimal conditions can reach up to 50 metres outdoors.
The range of a Wi-Fi hotspot is impacted by a number of factors including surrounding buildings, interference from other wireless devices, weather conditions and the number of other users.
For best results we recommend staying close to the hotspot and keeping an eye on your device’s Wi-Fi signal strength.

Telstra Air® activation and your home gateway
When you activate Telstra Air on your home broadband account it triggers a firmware update to your gateway. This update enables your gateway to become a Telstra Air hotspot and broadcast a separate Wi-Fi network alongside your private home network.
You will notice that a ‘Fon WiFi’ network name is also being broadcast. The Fon Wi-Fi network is the same as the Telstra Air Network, but can be accessed by Fon’s overseas community and by customers buying a guest pass from Fon.

Re: Use Telstra Air
I have downloaded Telstra air on my Apple iPad, and when I try and log in with my "my account" details Telstra air is not coming up . I have checked my account details and it's not coming up there either. I have checked wireless networks and not coming up
