    Find the Desired Wi-Fi

    Launch the Captive Portal

    When you tap the desired Wi-Fi name, the "Captive Portal" will automatically launch in a special browser (non-standard browser).

    The reason the portal does not launch in the standard browser is to protect you from malicious Wi-Fi providers.
    The login process via the portal is to protect our communication network from cyberattacks.

      If "Auto-Login" is off, turn it "On".

      If the "Privacy" setting is set to "Use Random MAC", change it to "Use Device MAC".

    If the "Captive Portal" does not launch next time, go to the detailed settings screen of the desired Wi-Fi and turn on "Auto-Login".

    If the portal still does not launch even though you are connected to the desired Wi-Fi name, try accessing it by scanning the following QR code with your smartphone's camera or QR code reader app.
