  1. How do I Connect My Surface to Hotel Wi-Fi?


    When I connect to public wifi on normal devices - Apple, Android, toasters, whatever, the non-Windows devices show a browser page and allow me to accept terms to get connected.


    On Microsoft Surface, it simply says “No Internet, open”. I’ve tried rebooting — which I pretty much have to do every time I change wifi networks anyway, running the troubleshooter, turning wifi off and on, disabling and re-enabling the adapter, and flushing the DNS. I’ve done driver-reinstalls previously in the vain hope it would solve the problem of having to reboot every time I connected to a different network.


    The troubleshooter says “Windows can’t communicate with the device or resource…” I can’t post the entire log because I am typing this on my iPad. (I think pretty much everyone but Microsoft knows how to make their wifi-enabled products work without much fuss).


    I have this problem every time I travel. I think I may have randomly managed to get it to work last time — or maybe I just had my Mac with me.


    Does anyone have any idea how I can get this thing to work short of buying a wireless access point to bring with me everywhere. This is so stupid frustrating.

    :)

  2. Surface Pro 4 will not connect to Starbucks Wi-Fi?


    I have not used my surface on many unknown Wi-Fi networks. However, I have not had any problems where did. Today I tried logging in to Starbucks Wi-Fi and got "no internet connection." I spent an hour on the phone sitting in Sbux talking to their Google-Sbux Wi-Fi tech support to no avail. I did all these:

    Restarting Surface

    Restarting browser/Wi-Fi

    Disable firewall.

    Clearing cache

    Forgetting networks and re-connecting.

    Disable/re-enable network adapter

    Entering DNS settings.

    Removal of the adapter driver and reinstall.


    Nothing worked. I was pretty sure the tech was unfamiliar with Win 10 and was reading down a list of "fixes." At any rate, the problem was not solved. I suspect some sort of security switch with Win 10, but don't know where to look.

    Internet searches found a few similar complaints regarding Surfaces and Starbucks' Wi-Fi. However, they were related to earlier models. Anyone have this problem and figure it out?

    p.s. Of course I was the only one with a Microsoft product in a sea of Apple machines. You see how this type of thing further makes MS look bad.

    How do I Connect My Surface to Hotel Wi-Fi?

    Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks


    Hi,

    I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

    PROBLEM:

    • When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

    UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

    • How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
    • How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

    EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

    • I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

    PERSONAL COMMENT:

    • Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
