How can I forget a hotel wifi network?

I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with apple support and they were not able to help me. I hope someone here can help me with this.
On a macbook pro w/Yosemite
I am logged into a hotels wifi. It is the type of thing where you ling to the network, they forward yo to a web page, you accept their user agreement, select their free basic or select to pay for higher speed. Upon selecting the basic internet, you enter the code the hotel gave you and you are signed in. Any subsequent times to select their wifi or auto select, you are automatically logged in. This is what I did.
Well, the hotel basic is incredibly slow so I want to change and pay for higher speed internet. The issue is I can't get rid of the automatic login to basic. I did the following, some before, during, and after the apple support call:
Network preferences - advanced - forget network
erased all keychain saved passwords an keys
deleted all saved wifi networks
deleted web history
deleted cache
deleted cookies
deleted several other things as directed by support
emptied recycle bin
emptied secure recycle bin
restarted after each.
There is literally no saved settings or passwords left. I go to select the network, select it, it automatically logs me in to basic. Why does it not just go to the web page if all is deleted?
Apple support gave up and said it was the hotels issue (have you tried talking to the hotel desk staff about something like this?). I asked the hotel if they could reset the code, they said no. It expires in 30 days.
Same thing also happens on my iPhone and iPad.
It seems that their server is remembering my addresses and automatically signing in. How can I stop this?
Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Thanks, I was hoping there was a way for me to delete their connection from my end.
Network System Preferences, Highlight WiFi in the left hand panel, click the Advanced... button, then just highlight the network and press the "-" button.

How can I to omitt a wifi network in ios7?

Hi, I need to omitt, eliminate a known Wifi network from my iPhone. In iOs6 there was a red button for this in the details of the network, even if you were not connected to it. In iOs7 you can only forget a network if you are connected, or so it seems. How can you eliminate a network?

Not sure what you mean by 'eliminate'. You can tap the "i" to the right of the network name to "Forget this Network" (even if you're not connected to it). But you cannot prevent it from showing up as an available network to choose from, that's never been available.

How can I change the preferred WiFi network in my MacBook Pro

How can I change the preferred order of networks on my MacBook Pro? There used to be one network at my office. Now there is a second higher speed wifi network also present which I would prefer to connect to, but the Macbook connects to the older one unless manually changed.

Apple menu > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi > Drag networks into the order you prefer.

How can i connect to a wifi network with no internet connection?

I used to be able to connect my Z10 to a wifi network even when the network had no Internet connectivity when i got my phone in Feb. 2013 (10.0) However ever since the 10.1 update this has stopped working. I cannot connect to my wifi network when there is no Internet connection. I cannot play videos / music from my phone to my tv/music system or connect to my laptop. However my laptop and tv communicate just fine through the same network.
Can anyone recommend anything for this?

Your saved wifi networks should connect automatically whether internet is available or not, you may receive a notification "there appears to be no internet connection".
Update to 10.2, if not available from your carrier then use Sachesi (see other threads).

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

MBP can't find one specific wifi network.

The hotel where I live offers free wifi (The Cloud) and for months I've been using with full signal.
Suddenly my MBP (mid 2010) was unable to find this network.
My iPad and my iPhone (and friend's devices) are still connecting at any time with perfect full signal.
I've tried holding alt+cmd+P+R at boot to reset PRAM and NVRAM but it still can't find that specif wifi network.

Update: after another NVRAM and PRAM reset (alt+cmd+P+R) the wifi network shows up but I'm still unable to connect to it. When selected I've got a message of "connection timeout occurred" and the network disappears again.

How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan

Hello Sir!
After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
     "Compartir Conexión desde":   iPhone USB or Bluetooth PAN
     "Con otros Ordenadores vía": Ethernet
3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
4º In Time Capsule "Internet": connect by: DHCP
                             "Network": bridged
Nothing more!!! Sooooo simply!!
After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
and it´s working to.
But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
In- and Out-Going!
Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol

How can I remedy losing my wifi signal a hundred times a day at least?

HOw can I remedy losing my wifi signal a hundred times a day?

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can't connect to a wifi network with a wep keyid 2

Hi,
how do you connect to a wifi network with wep but the keyid is 2, i can't find an option.
i put the password, in asci and in hexa, and the answer "can't connect to the network" a xp near got connected after changing the key id in configs :((
did i miss something?
thanks for help

I am relatively new to Mac's, as at 40 having had IBM/Windows compatibles since I was 14 (8086 woot!), I am still learning.
However, I believe the answer is that you must use Key 1. I don't believe OSX offers the chance to use any others. However, in case I am wrong, try putting a $ before the WEP passphrase, but again, I think it only uses Key 1.
Hope that helps,

HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

Hi,
I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
Ben.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

TS1398 Update iPhone 4s to 6.1.3 (10B329) now I can't connect to any wifi networks at home or at work and all car Bluetooth systems will not connect either. Help! Extremely annoyed at apple for putting out software that causes such mayhem.

My iPhone 4s has been update as I said in subject bar.. Now can't connect to any of my cars Bluetooth systems. Also even more frustratingly can't connect to any wifi networks at home or work!!
How can apple put out such an update that causes so much grief and inconvenience to hundreds of people. Not to mention risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working...outraged!!!!!!

First, grow up. Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software. I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know. And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working? It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive. Not Apple's.
We're users here, volunteering our time to help others. Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help. Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
Good luck getting help.

How can I conntect to a mobile network from my phone to my IPod so I can use the internet?

How can I conntect to a mobile network from my phone to my IPod so I can use the internet?

Itr depends upon the device and your carrier. Contact BB and your carrier support.website. Typically you have to subscribe (pay) to setup the hotspot but that depends upon the carrier.
You can also Google for;
setup wifi hotspot for XX blackberry with YY
XX is your model BB and YY is your carrier.

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network?

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.
