Try These Fixes"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you\u2019re reading this, then you\u2019ve probably been in a situation where you needed something done while traveling, but you couldn\u2019t connect to the Wi-Fi in your hotel<\/a>. The most common situation is that the hotel Wi-Fi<\/a> isn\u2019t redirecting us to the login page.<\/span><\/p>\n

We say \u201csituation\u201d because it\u2019s not an issue. There\u2019s a very simple reason this happens, and we\u2019re going to discuss it in this article. Also, we\u2019re going to go over the troubleshooting steps that can fix the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is a Captive Portal?<\/h2>\n

The situation where you need to log in using some temporary credentials when trying to access a public Wi-Fi<\/a> hotspot is called a captive portal. It\u2019s the page we need to visit to get internet access.<\/span><\/p>\n

Public institutions provide these kinds of hotspots<\/a>, public parks, hotels, etc. So, whenever you needed to do something before you use a public hotspot, you probably interacted with a captive portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

HTTP Vs. HTTPS<\/h2>\n

\"http<\/p>\n

The reason the hotel Wi-Fi<\/a> isn\u2019t redirecting us to the login page is related to security<\/a>. There are two types of protocols, HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure).<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the protocols used to form a request-response circle. When you type in the web address, the protocols get the document and display it in your browser. The pages fetched by either of the protocols have the base structure.<\/span><\/p>\n
