I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

Having tried every tip here. Nothing worked.

Grabbed my partners phone and it asked for the login and password. So I copied the address up the top in the URL section. Essentiallly a bunch of numbers and dots.

Typed that into my phone in the URL section. Then the motels wifi login page popped up. Put in the password and login and now it's functioning again

Hope that helps some peeps

Other situation I met: I have succefully connected and login to the hotel wifi a few times than the wifi dropped me out and I didn't get anymore the login screen. The only way I managed to reset my cache and ip address was by restarting my iphone.

Someone answer this question in Oct 2016 and said to delete the Boingo app--he was SPOT ON. That is so freaking useless, the supposed free-wifi never works, and it screws up everything else. So THANK YOU to whoever it was who said to delete BOINGO!!!!! I cannot find your reply :-(

usually when you connect to a hotel wifi - it takes you to a secured site that you need to agree on. Did it take you there?

Have you considered calling Hotel Reception and asking how their service works

Well best of luck 😁

Their should be a help number for the service the use. Ask if they are using a Java applet for the login.

I have been having this same problem in several different hotels. Clearly it is my phone - my wife and son have the exact same model iphone (4G) and they are not having any wifi problems - even in the same room, same hotel.

Sometimes the wifi works fine for 1-2 days, then it stops bringing up the login screen when I reconnect. I have tried all the suggested tricks - open Safari, forget the network, renew lease, reset network settings. It appears to be connecting to the wifi but permission to access the internet is blocked because the login screen never appears.

I have the same problem on my iPhone 5 at various hotels and cafes. If I have used the wifi network before, and the password has changed, the login screen won't appear when I try and login on subsequent visits. Even after forgetting the network, renewing the lease, etc.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem now and then. Sometimes entering gibberish in the search or URL bar will seem to force an error message (Can't find page, etc) and then a refresh takes me to the hotel login screen.

YMMV, good luck.

I was having the exact same problem as the original poster. I followed trstark66's advice and it worked perfectly. The only thing I did differently was make sure that typed the full URL, as in http://www.apple.com, as opposed to just apple.com

Thanks trstark66!

I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...

My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.

But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.

Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

It isn't Apple, some hotels still use old methods of login. If you get one that uses a java applet for login you won't be able to login at all.

Add "?.jpg"not the end of any URL and you won't even need to log in
