MBP does not connect to a hotel WiFi

Hi All,
I'm here in Germany since 6 days. My MBP is not connecting to a free hotel WiFi. The Airport shows full bars but the webpage is not opening. Then, i tried to restart the machine but i didn't work out. The Network Diagnostics shows that every thing is GREEN but the internet and server, they are RED (failed). However, I can join the same network using my iphone and other Windows laptop.
Now, about the diagnostics,
-In the 1st step, I choose the Airport.
-In the 2nd, I selected the "PARKHOTEL". The network i'm trying to connect.
-The 3rd step is the question of having a DSL or cable modem and my answer is NO.
-The 4th step is there any device connected directly like switch or router and my answer is YES.
-The 5th step is to restart the router device and click CONTINUE when it is done restarting. Frankly, i can not restart the router bcoz I'm in a hotel and i'm connecting to the internet from my windows laptop and my iphone. So, i assumed that it has no issue. So, i clicked CONTINUE and the connection singe starts rotating.
-After a while, the 6th step is about any other device i can restart as a router or firewalls or managed switches connected directly to the device that just restarted and my answer is NO. Finally, the diagnostics said "Network diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems".
(NO RESULT ACHIEVED)
Then, I googled a pit trying to find a solution and i found the same issue. The solution was to disable the firewall and i found it already disabled in my MBP.
(NO RESULT)
In the meantime, i deleted all other networks except for the network & the wifi connection I am trying to connect to.
System Preferences/Network/Advance/Airport
And i restarted my computer.
(NO RESULT)
Finally, i found something today.
The IP address of the Windows lap is 10.1.10.xx
But the IP address of the MBP is 10.0.11.xx
I changed the IP address of the MBP manually and i got the same issue.
Also, (NO RESULT)
Any ideas? Plz..

When this happens to me (top part green, bottom red), it's always dns... At check-in the hotel should have given you some info, including the IP address of the router, and the dns if it's different than the router. You know the first 3 parts -- 10.0.11 -- so you just need to figure out the fourth. Usually it's either 1 or 253, but if it's some random address then you are not going to guess it.

If this is a recent problem perhaps you've reached your Mb limit: if it never has connected are you sure you're paying your carrier for cellular Internet.

My Ipad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help.

My IPad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol appears against the wifi network, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help. My collegue who also has an Ipad can access the same wifi with ease, so it must be something to do with the settings on my machine, although checking the two machines, there appears to be no difference in the settings.

My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

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.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

How do i fix my wifi if it connects and the bars are blue but no check sign appears next to the wifi name and does not connect to the internet???

Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2013) does not connect to Wifi

Hi,
I just bought a new macbook pro 3 days back. It was working fine till it suddenly dropped connection to the home WiFi. Since then it shows a list of wifi options including the one that i was connected to but does not connect to it. The error message says that the computer cannot connect to the wifi. and asks me to run diagnostics
I have done the following
Run Diagnostic
Switched the wifi off and on
Restarted Mac
Deleted the network from the preferred list and tried to join again
Tried to manually enter the details of the wifi
Switched the router and modem off and on again
Any help would be really appreciated. It's just been 3 days with the mac and I wasn't expecting this.
regards,
ss

Does this connect to other WiFi networks?
As for the problematic WiFi network, see if  > System Preferences > Network > select the WiFi network in the left column > Assist Me... and see if the Assistant and the Diagnostics options can provide any insight into the connectivity problem.
Failing that, take the MacBook Pro back into the folks at the Apple Store and have them take a look at it, and see if it'll connect to the WiFi network there.

After updating to iOS-6 WiFi does not connect automatically.

After installing the new operating system, I noticed that my iPhone 4S does not automatically reconnect to my WiFi at home.

Anybody notice this?
Any patch?

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

IMac does not connect to wifi on boot

I own an iMac and run it with OS X 10.7.5. Ever since system update 10.7.3 (February 2012) my mac more often than not does not connect to wifi on boot. I have to select diagnostics and connect manually. I did a design of experiment and have now discovered that I do not have this problem if I wait about a minute to log in after the login prompt displays. I like my mac for it's fast startup. It is a shame to have to wait unecessarily for it to connect to wifi before logging in. I kenw this was a problem with the system update and this confirms it. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening so I don't have to wait?

It has been a month now and waiting a minute always works for connecting to my airport extreme on boot. I was cleaning behind my desk and realized that the ethernet cable was still attached to the back of the iMac even though I had moved the airport upstairs. I disconnected it. I also opened network preferences. The wifi was moved a long time ago to the top for priority, but the inactive ethernet and firewire were still listed. I removed both the ethernet and firewire so the only connection listed is wifi. My computer has now found the internet on 4 consecutive boots without waiting. It appears that having the other two options disrupts the connection process on boot. I will continue checking over the next week and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

I bought my ipod touch from usa...and the wifi does not connect.does it have something to do with that its not from india?

So you have tried connecting to open network that do not require a password and it was still unable to connect? If that is the case.
Does Wifi appear grayed out on your iPod via Settings -> Wi-fi?

[SOLVED] NetworkManager does not connect to WiFi networks

I'm using `networkmanager` to connect WiFi.
I have selected WiFi Name through `networkmanager`.
Next, enter WiFi Password.
But the problem is, `networkmanager` asks me about password again and again and over again and does not connect to WiFi never !!!!
I'm sure WiFi password that I entered is correct.
