Wifi auto log-in

[coryrk26]

Hi all,

We have killer wifi where I work. Much faster than at my house. The problem is that I have to log into it every time I get to work or walk back into the building. Once I connect to the wifi, it brings me to a site to log in. Is there any app that will auto log in for me?

The phone should do that automatically.

What is the precise procedure for working onto your work WiFi?

The phone locates the wifi network. Once it connects it takes me to a website where I have to enter my username and password. Once I enter that then I'm connected.

Sounds like a guest type wifi such as the type used in hotels or airports with no security. I have the same thing at my work but it just requires an email address to gain access.

If it is using a browser to log in, try a different browser.

Try this.

Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.

Then press the Menu button and select Advanced.

Finally, set Passpoint to "on".

Please report back on your results.

I work tomorrow, I'll let you know. Thank you!

So it kind of worked. I still had to log in once after I first arrived to work. Maybe it's the wifi at work...

You would still have to log into the network once more. Try to leave and come back and see what happens.

Sorry, that's what I meant. After I came back from lunch I had to log in again.

What you are seeing is an additional and non-standard authentication security in the Wifi routers. While the phone will remember the Wifi password for the router, it can't be expected to know how to deal with the additional authentication. Ask around and you will find that others run into the same issue.

Boo, I was hoping there was an app that would take care of it for me. Thanks though!

I stay off the network at work because it is subject to monitoring, as most are. I have a buddy that sometimes Emails me, um, things that work would consider inappropriate. By using 3G/4G while at work, I keep that traffic off their network. Kind of a bummer since our lousy 3G/4G coverage limits usefulness.

Lol, it sounds like we have some of the same friends! I do the wifi because my wife and I share a gig on VZW and the coverage in my building is crappy. It's just annoying to have to log in any time I walk back in the building.
