Connect to offshore/public Wi-Fi

Hi,
Considering purchasing an iPad....I have one issue though. I work offshore and the wi-fi connection here requires you to login and then leave the login page (or tab) open in order to use the service.
Is there any way to do this on the iPad? I currently have an iPhone and can't figure out how to get it to keep the connection.
Cheers,
Kris

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's a java applet or not...but it sounds more like it. Basically I have to enter user/pass for the router, but then to access the internet I need to enter another user/pass in a web browser window and keep that window open.
When I connect using my iPhone, I can connect to the router as usual, open safari, get the login screen for the internet and sign in. The problem comes when I open a new tab in safari, the internet no longer works (I'm assuming because safari "closes" the previous tab and just puts it in a restore mode). Also, I'm not able to close safari and open other apps for the same reason.
Any way to get around this and actually sign in? Any workarounds for java applets if that's what I get (which it sounds like).
Cheers

how to configure one dsl connection and one public ip in cisco router and map to one interface for using exchange server

Hi ,
Have you got any additional public IP Address from your service provider , If yes on router you can have static route for those additional IP Address pointing to your ASA outside interface .
Accordingly you can configure NAT

Do other devices connect to your router?
What do you mean by distant IP address?

Unable to connect on a public wifi...[iPhone 4S]

Hello,
I got a little problem with my iPhone 4S 16go.
When i'm on 3G, I'm unable to connect on a public wifi that uses a pop-up to go trough an internet page to connect.
Normally, a pop-up opens automaticly with the commercial page where I need to click to connect. In fact, this pop-up is appearing but it stays white ... The only way it worked for connecting to wifi is when I turn off the 3G but there is surely a solution !
I count on you !

At a shopping center , but that's a commercial wifi that disconnect everytime when I put my cellphone on stanby mode. The connect, we need to go trough a site where we need to click to connect..

When connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

when connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

I believe I may have solved this
When you can't log into public WiFi ...
with an iDevice…
because the Server times out ...
or the login/registration page just won't load ...
********Simply do this***********
Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
Now go back and reselect the network.
If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
Bingo!
I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
Peace y'all

Connecting to xfinity public wifi

Hi,
I have a 2nd generation ATV.
I am trying to connect to a PUBLIC XFINITY wifi network.
However, this network requires User ID and password authentication to allow me to use the internet (Which I DO have and able use on phone/ipad/Computer), the login process is however impossible with ATV since no browser is available.
Is there any way to connect to such network (may be registering the ATV from another device using MAC address)
Note: XFINITY support has failed multiple times to address or even recognise the issue I'm facing.
any suggestions will be highly appreciated...

You will need to talk to someone who is responsible for the network

VPN Connection Seen As Public Network In Windows 8.1 & No Way To Change It?

Hello,
I have a perfectly working VPN setup in Windows 7 however since I have got a Windows 8 computer and subsequently upgraded it to 8.1 when I connect to the VPN it assigns the connection as Public and I cannot view any of the network shares.
As I understand it, in Windows 8 you could go into the network section of Change PC Settings, right click over the VPN and enable sharing which would convert the public network type to private however there is no longer this option to enable sharing in 8.1
So I'm left with having to disable the public firewall and then connect to the VPN where it works perfectly but is a bit of a pain.
I'm hoping someone can help me to change the network type of the VPN connection from Public to Private, unfortunately the laptop runs Windows 8.1 Home Premium so I do not have access to gpedit.msc
Hope someone can help.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Based on my knowledge, we can use the following method to change the network type of connection from Public to Private.
Set Network to be Private in Windows 8 and 8.1 in Registry
1.Press Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and press Enter.
2.In Registry Editor, navigate to the location below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
3.Expand Profiles, click on each long GUID number subkey, and look at its PofileName string value in the right pane to see if it has the current network name (ex: Network) until found.
4.When you find the correct PofileName for your network name, double click/tap on the Category DWORD value in the same right pane to modify it.
5.Type in a new Data value number for the network location you want, and click/tap on OK.
Network location      Data value
Public                                0
Private                            1
Domain                            2
6.When finished, please reboot your computer.
Hope this helps.

My phone wont connect to interweb (im paying for) unless i connected to a public or home wifi

Like my title says i cant use my data im paying for. the way i can use the intereb is from a public wifi

No one has an idea what phone you have. Generally, for things like this, people recommend trying these steps:
1). power down the phone
2). remove SIM card
3). wait 5 minutes
4). re-insert SIM
5). power back up the phone
with WiFi off, yes, you should be able to browse the web via the cellular connection. If you have WiFi on, and you are connected to an access point (router), it should default to using that radio to browse the web...
If the steps above don't work for you, you may have to either:
1). call VZW and have them check your account. tell them that you did the above and it didn't work.
2). go into a CORPORATE VZW store and request a new SIM card be installed in your phone (and don't leave the store till they verify operation works for you).

Should iphone 5 drop connection alot on public wifi

Is it my iphone or just the fact that public wifi networks tend to have alot of users on at the same time, if it drops wifi connection on them alot?

The wi-fi connection is dropped while actively using your iPhone, or it is dropped when your iPhone is locked or asleep?
The latter is normal, the former is not.

IPhone stayed connected to temporary public wifi? why?

Hey there,
So at my work there's a public wifi system that you can have hour long sessions on. All you have to do is check that you agree to the terms and conditions and your device is connected. Now, I usually check my stuff briefly in the morning and then throw my phone in my locker before I go to work and then check it again on my break. When I checked in on my break, the wifi was still connecting, I even disconnected then re-connected to the wifi and my device had perfectly working wifi without having to check anything even though it had been an hour. I found this a little odd and concerning, wondering if anyone had gotten onto my phone somehow. I have a passcode and nothing appeared to be touched or changed on the phone. My question is, does this look like someone has gotten into my phone or just a problem with the public wifi? (After a few minutes of playing around with it, the internet eventually disconnected and I had to reconnect). On a public wifi as such, can anyone hack into your device and get info? I never entered any info this morning like passwords or anything, all I did was check my notifications on twitter and tumblr whose apps were already logged in

Sorry I might add it had been well over an hour. 4+ hours since I'd last connected.

Connection issues on Public Hotspot - Single App mode (MDM)

My iPad is connected permanently to a public hotspot. The connection sometimes is interrupted by a planned maintenance on the AP.
It happens from time to time that the iPad can't recover it's Wifi connection by itself.
Going to the settings> Wifi seems to be enough to reconnect.
Problem is that the device is working in An MDM Single App profile, and so the settings are not meant to be reachable.
Restarting the device is required to reconnect to the public AP.
I know that IOS sometimes turns down WIFI after a certain period of non-use, but in Single App, the iPad stays on, day and night.
It is running in IOS 7.1.
Is this a know issue?

anyone know how to set a correct task id?

I am facing the problems to connect to Wifi Public Networks since I have upgraded my IPAD 2 to IOS 6.

For the fist time I relly need help folks!!
There is no way to make my Ipad 2 to connect to public wifi Networks!
It seems there is something really wrong with IOS 6!!
This is really a big issue because tablets are really made to facilitate mobile access !
After doing everything that was possible to do, I believe the problems is with IOS 6 that need to be fixed very fast by Apple.
Thanks in advance for any assistance addressed to theis problems,
Regards, Eduardo

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Can't connect to an public wireless network

Hello,
I'm having trouble connecting to my college's wireless network. I've connected to it before. It loads a sign in page for you to login with your school ID . Since last week, I can see the network in my airport with full bars. The login page does not load and it says im not connected to the Internet. I've also put in the login page URL but that does not load either. The college's IT guy says he has seen this problems many times with macs this semester only. He said it might had been affected by a recent update.
I can connect to my wireless network at my house and also at my parents so I don't understand why I can't connect! Also , the login page loads on my iPhone.
Thanks to anyone with any answers!

I have talked to other Mac and window users who were online.. So I'm not sure why I can't connect! The tech guy told me to make sure that my mac wasnt remembering my wifi settings

Probleme avec IOS 5 - connection free wifi public (France)

Bonjour à vous.
Voici mon soucis :
j'ai un ipod 4, depuis la Maj en IOS 5.0 et 5.0.1 je n'arrive plus à joindre le réseaux wifi free public en France, dans réglages / wi-fi... la roue tourne tout le temps sans s'arrêter et sans cocher pour prévenir que je suis en wifi... (mais j'arrive à faire cocher pour sfr wifi public et autres, et à accéder aux réseaux wifi) .
cela, depuis la Maj IOS 5, car quand j'étais en IOS 4.3.5 il n'y avait pas de soucis !!!
je vous remercie d'avance de votre aide... si vous avez des idées, car j'ai déja fait quelques petites choses comme :
- remetttre un system en mode DFU etc...
- d'oublier ce réseau..
- arrêter le wifi et le remettre..
mais rien n'y fait !!!
- et aller à l'Apple store de Paris, mais personne comprend mon soucis et peut m'aider...
merci beaucoup car j'en peux plus de tourner en rond aussi.

My 4th generation iPod touch is suddenly getting very weak at home. I have reset network settings, checked router, everything. All other devices have strong signal. It is also not connecting to any public wifi (Ex: Starbucks). How do I fix this?

I have tried every suggestion posted in questions similar to mine, and nothing is working. In know that it is my iPod and not the Internet itself. Any ideas?

Maybe the antenna connection came lose
