Summary

You're trying to connect to a public Wi-Fi network, but the login screen won't appear or load. This is likely due to connecting to an open, non-secure public Wi-Fi network. To fix this, opt for only encrypted Wi-Fi connections, which will prompt you to enter a password before joining. If no encrypted option is available, try turning off alternate third-party DNS servers, using your browser to open the router's default page, opening a non-HTTPS site in incognito mode, creating a new network location, or restarting your device. Additionally, consider making a personal hotspot from your smartphone if the public Wi-Fi isn't working, and practice safe browsing by using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your data and keep it secure from prying eyes.
