Connecting Wii to BT FON/BT Openzone Hotspot

Hi,
I have access to BT FON which I connect to using my laptop and other devices. Does anyone know how/if you can connect using a Nintendo Wii, as I can't get the login webpage as I would using other devices.
Thanks.

I don't think you will be able to connect to it with the Wii. You could turn your Laptop into a wifi hotspot and use it through that.
If your laptop is Windows 7 or 8 you could download Virtual Router Manager and install it. Set up is very easy. You would then connect the laptop to BTWif as per normal and once connected start Virtual Router Manager which turns your laptop into a hotspot and you would log onto that with the Wii like you would when using your normal home wirelesss network.
You can connect any other devices through you laptop at the same time.

  • BT Fon / BT Openzone connection issues

    Hi, I have BT broadband and with that I believe I get access to the BT hotspots. I've registered my details on the BT FON website to make sure and it confirms. However if I'm out and about and my phone pics up an openzone hotspot it connects to it but doesn't log in. I open the BT FON app and it gets to the stage where it says 'checking login status...' it stays on this page and doesn't log in. I've checked and my details are correct so why can I not log in to any of these hotspots. I may get 1, once in a blue moon but in general they do not connect. Any ideas as to why? What makes it more annoying is that I end up having to turn my wifi off so I don't keep connecting to hotspots that don't work and then turn it on again when I get home.

    There are a number of posts on this forum relating to this problem, you may like to check these first for a possible solution.

    There is some general help from BT here.
    http://btsupport.custhelp.com/app/answers/list/c/1812
    As you see, there are still problems with the service, mostly when a home hub 2 is the source of the FON/Openzone signal.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • BT FON / BT Openzone

    I apologise if this has been posted previously but I have just signed up to BTFON via my home hub and am now trying to access it via my iphone.  I have located the webpage and have been given three choices for customer login being BT Total Broiadband, BT Openzone and BTFON.  WI have highlighted and then entered my username and password for BT Openzone but it does not seem to do anything.  When I attemot it when highlighting BTFON it says that the E-mail or passwrod are invalid.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Lets not muck about with it then:  make sure that your i phone functionality has not saved any passwords, delete any connectivity to BT OZ/ Fon saved on your i phone.  I would suggest you then un-subscribe from Fon, reset your hub, wait 24 hours, then try and connect again, making sure that you try to sign in only as a BTBB customer using your primary BT username and password.
    BT Fon members dont have to sign into a Fon connection: your membership is detected and Fon shows as an available network.  Indeed your own Hub should show two options available wi fi connectivity, your secure connection, and a BTOZ (which is actually BT Fon) connection. You might like to check that you have two available means of connecting to your hub (ie, your secire connection and Fon "BTOZ" connection) before you perform any of the above.
    A note for the forum mods please on this post:-
    HTC windows/amdroid users generally seem to be ok with connectivity to BTOZ/Fon.  There has been a persistent issue with i phone users on this matter.  Although BT dont support the i phone as such, they might consider a connectivity help item, for the i phone on apple UK  help pages, as clearly many UK users will be/are seeking to connect via their BTBB entitlement to BTOZ / Fon.  Would suggest a note to the apple about this for the different i phone models connecting to over 1 million wi fi hotspots in the UK and the further millions that seemingly exist worldwide.

  • HomeHub security concern - Fon and Openzone share ...

    I have recently joined BT on Total Broadband Option 3 to find that my HomeHub has opened a BTFon and BTOpenzone connection. I'm quite content with this arrangement, but have found that they all share the same channel. Having done some research, the BTFon describes FON as secure because "BT FON members agree to securely share a portion of their Wi-Fi bandwidth through a separate channel on their wireless router".
    I called BT about this but was told only how I could turn Fon and Openzone off - which I'd only want to do if they are compromising the security of my WPA encrypted connection by sharing the same channel. I don't know if I should be concerned by shared channel. Any advice would be welcomed.

    Hi Mr Jones.
    First of all the youdo not share the same channel, they USE the same channel, much the same as I could be using the same channel as you.
    Fon and OZ are a separate thing from your connection, except to say they do use some of your Bandwidth when actually being use by another party, but you should have priority.
    As for security, I think its fair to say that it is secure as much as possible, I leave it running and so far no problems, now and again a couple of youngster sit on my garden wall and use it, but I do live in a quiet somewhat "respectable area", but had no problems with it.
    Like most it can be cracked if someone is dedicated enough, but there must be easier picking out there, and WPA should protect you.

    Please don't shout!   Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet.  If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
    Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet?   Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network?  Or do you have other options?

    When connecting Apple devices to your iPhones wireless hotspot do those devices stop background data processes to conserve data?
    In other words if you have a limited data plan on your iPhone will your other Apple devices such as an iPad automatically cease background data transfers to conserve data usage?

  • Why Fon and Openzone

    Why do hubs put out 2 signals, BTFon and BTOpenzone but both give a choice of logins? Perhaps there should be an BTtotalbroadband signal as well

    Hi Chrisrae,
    BTFON is the chosen name for the BT WiFi community, this would rule out the need for a "BT Total Broadband" SSID, the reason that Openzone is also broadcast is because BT Openzone subscribers (not necessarly BT broadband customers) can use these hotspots as well as the standard commercial Openzone hotspots found in coffee shops and hotels etc.  At one time the Hubs would only broadcast Openzone, however with the succesfull take up of BTFON and its rapid expansion, BT decided to add "BTFON" as an additional SSID so that users could recognise it as being a community hotspot.

  • BT FON/Openzone Hotspot connects but will not go o...

    Hi,
    Recently moved house and thought I'd been lucky to be right next to fon/openzone hot spot. However upon connecting I get the typical 10.* address allocated and 192.168.22.22 dns which are classic signs the home hub I'm trying to connect to needs to be reset. Problem I've got is I'm in a big flat complex and no clue who has the fon/openzone homehub.
    Any one get any ideas? I've tried the official channels and I've been stone walled straightaway.
    Kind Regards,
    James

    there is no way you can force whoever the owner of the hub is to reset just so you can access their BTFON.  I'm surprised that if it is a big flat complex that there are not more BTFON wifi signals than just this one
