Wi-Fi has become a standard amenity offered by many luxury and budget hotels. After all, free Wi-Fi is arguably the most desired service requested by travelers in most establishments.<\/span><\/p>\n However, <\/span>accessing the hotel\u2019s wireless network<\/span><\/a> from your guest room, conference center, or common area is not always a guarantee. Hotel internet may not be available on Wi-Fi no matter how much you try to connect. <\/span><\/p>\n This is mainly because most hotels use secure Wi-Fi networks<\/a> that require you to log in via a custom sign-in page. Unfortunately, this may not be possible on some devices and mobile phone browsers.<\/span><\/p>\n In this post, we\u2019ve compiled a few proven fixes to help you get around the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n You may not be able to <\/span>connect to your hotel\u2019s Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> simply because you chose the <\/span>wrong wireless network<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Check your phone, laptop, or tablet settings to confirm whether it is connecting to the correct network<\/a>. If the hotel\u2019s Wi-Fi is open, it should pop up in the wireless network options.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes you may have to search for the hotel\u2019s network if it does not automatically appear in your phone\u2019s list of available Wi-Fi networks.<\/span><\/p>\n Then again, most hotels use secure wireless networks, meaning you may have to create an account on your device to access the internet. The establishment <\/span>will then provide <\/span>login credentials to help you connect to their wireless network.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n As stated earlier, most hotels use secure networks instead of open or public Wi-Fi. With a secure wireless network, guests have to create a temporary account and log in to access the internet. <\/span><\/p>\n Ensure you obtain a network name and password at the front desk or reception to access the <\/span>hotel\u2019s internet.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended reading: <\/strong>How to Make Hotel Wi-Fi Faster?
