Ipad Wifi settings no auto-join auto-log in

I'm at a hotel with free wifi and tech support tells me to shut off auto login on my iPad
Did it successfully last night, but now this morning neither auto join or auto log in appears.
Is there a setting somewhere that makes these visible?
Whahappened?!

Justdar-
Do you remember where you found "auto log in" before?  I can't find it on my iPad.
What may work, is to go to Settings-WiFi-Choose a network.  Click the blue arrow to the right of your network, if you are connected to one.  Pressing "Forget this Network" will disconnect the WiFi, and remove that WiFi router from the Known Networks auto-connect list.  You will need to do this before each session, and manually select the Wifi according to your Tech Support instructions.

    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 drooping 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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Wifi auto-join button gone ?

    I have a iPhone 4s and iPad 2, both on iOS 6.1.3
    At home I have my home wifi, and a slower public hotspot from my ISP
    On the iPad, I have 2 options in the wifi hotspot settings: auto-join and auto-login.
    On my iPhone, these options are not shown.
    Both devices use different cellular providers... (Proximus/mobistar)
    Is there a possibility to get those 2 options on my iPhone ?
    It's annoying that my phone connects to a public network while I have my home network available...
    Thanks,
    Steven

    The. I will have to login every time i want to use the hotspot, and that's a lot ! :-)
    Thise hotspots are all over the city...
    Forgetting the hotspot network and the rejoining it made the buttons appear though...

  • TS1398 phone not auto joining wifi at home other iphones are ok though any ideas anyone

    help plz,   iphone 4 not auto joining wifi network @ home, other iphones in house are joining with no probs can anyone help????

    hi, if dilbert41's answer didn't work, try pressing on the little bleu arrow next to your wifi name in settings>wi-fi, then press forget this network, then press your wifi name again and type ur password, then check again that 'ask to join networks' is turned off in the bottom of the wi-fi page, and it should normally work

  • TS1398 when i update my software to 6.1.3(10B329)to I phone 4s the wifi is not working and not auto join the network that i have already connected to

    when i update my software to 6.1.3(10B329)to I phone 4s the wifi is not working and not auto join the network that i have already connected to

    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.

  • Mac Os X Lion - Wifi Auto-Join/Dropout Solution

    Just a FYI for others who may encounter this problem after upgrading to Lion.
    Found a good solution from -
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/backstage/comments/os-x-lion-serious-wi-fi-disc onnect-problems-for-macs-and-solutions/
    # Comment number 4 (of that page)
    Using his recommendation I found simply removing 'Wifi' (by clicking the '-') in Network Preferences clicking 'Apply' and then adding it again via '+'. Resolved the wifi auto-join problem (on start-up and wake) and dropout issue for me.
    Using a Macbook Pro 13" - 2011 model (upgrade - not clean install of Lion).

  • How to reset auto-join in wifi after its been disabled

    under my wifi connection i told it to disable the auto join how do i reactivate it

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
        a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.

  • Auto-Join feature disappeared after resetting network settings

    Previously the option to auto-join networks was present but not working. To try and alleviate this I decided to reset my network configs from the Settings app. Now when I look auto-join isn't an option, only Forget this network appears.
    I'm on 4.3.1 if that helps. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I still have 'Ask to Join Networks' on the main Wi-Fi setting screen. If you hit the blue arrow to go into a wireless network though, 'Forget this Network' at the top used to have 'Auto-Join Network' right below it.

  • Wi-Fi doesn't give Auto-Join or Forget Network options

    Is this normal for iOS 5.1? If I go out of range or turn my WiFi off, and then come in range/turn wifi on, it won't autoconnect and I have to re-input the password. When I hit the blue arrow next to the connected network, it doesn't give me a Forget Network button or and Auto-Join switch. This is really annoying and I've restored/reset Network options plenty of times to no avail.

    Possibly found a solution...
    I unplugged the router for a few seconds (I've tried this before) and then plugged it back in. Then I reset my network settings on the iPod. Then I manually logged into my network via the "Join Other Network" option in WiFi. I still don't have an "Auto-Join" Switch, but I have the Forget This Network button and when I turned WiFi off then on again, it reconnected automatically.

  • Now on iOS 6, auto-join on wi-fi won't stay on.

    After chaotic ios 6 update, auto- join on wi-fi won't stay on

    found 2 ways:
    reset network settings: go to settings>general>reset>reset network settings.  However I didn't do this because I think I would need to re enter all the passwords for the different wifis I use.
    So I used the following:
    instead tapping my network name and trying to keep auto-join to yes
    when you are in settings>wifi,
    tap "other" and enter the network name. you will have to choose the type of encryption key and enter the password. I just tried WEP type and it worked for me.

  • Airport auto-join 'oddness'

    I have two systems at home, a Powerbook G4, and an iMac G5, both with 10.4.9 (and every update thereafter, barring the latest security patch), and both of which connect to an Airport Extreme base station (via built-in Airport cards).
    Here's what's weird: the Airport network I've created (let's call it "Home") doesn't seem to come up automatically when I shutdown/restart the iMac. Home appears in the Airport menu, and what's more, I can connect to it without being prompted for the WPA passkey (mine is rather long, at 63 characters), but I always have to select it manually from the list. Not a big deal, but as far as I can tell, the settings on both machines are identical, and the Powerbook connects to the network without any problems.
    Both systems have the network passkey in the system keychain, and both have Home designated as a preferred network. Furthermore, both systems are set to connect to preferred networks only. There are no other base stations/WAPs in my house, and besides, both computers are set to prompt before adding newly-discovered networks to the preferred list, so you don't have to worry about the iMac accidentally joining another network "higher on the list" without my realizing it.
    As I've indicated, this isn't a life-threatening emergency by any means...but I know auto-join should always work in principle.
    Powerbook G4, iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    ...do you have any further suggestions?
    Check your setting on the network pref/options page and make sure that the only box selected is the one that states "Automatically add new networks . . . ." Make sure that the "Disconnect . . . when I log out" item is NOT selected.
    I'm assuming you're having this problem with a secure (i.e. WEP or WPA) network. The next time you manually log on to the network, make sure you select the option to store your password in your keychain.
    You can also try selecting the "Automatic" and "Preferred networks" options on the Network Pref, Airport Tab to see if the problem exists with either configuration.
    One more little tidbit, if you're using WEP, when you log on to your network put a "$" as the first character of your network password. I'm not sure if this trick works with WPA, but you can try it and find out,
    Hope this resolves your problem. cheers!

  • HT4989 Auto Join my Wi-Fi profile network doesn't work

    iOS Wi-Fi profiles: About Auto Join and per-connection password settings
    My ios device (phone) is usually connected to my home wifi, but I set up a wifi profile for another network and selected auto join.  The profile was set up succesfully.  When I turn on the other wifi, it doesn't auto join it.  It just stays on my nomral home wifi-
    Isn't that what auto join is supposed to do?  Make this profile the one to connect to when it's on/in range? 
    Thanks.

  • Can Mac auto join Iphone network over Blue Tooth Network?

    I have a Mac paired (Blue Tooth) to my iPhone 3G. I use it for internet access. But when phone gets out of range from my Mac the connection is dropped, as expected.
    Are there Blue Tooth settings on the Mac that will allow it to 'auto join', re-connecting my Mac and iPhone?

    Thanks for your response!
