iOS 11 can't connected to unsecured network??

I cannot connected to my university network since I update my iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Pro to iOS11. I had question that the reason is due to this network is "unsecured network" same as starbuck wifi.

Someone encounter with the same problem?? It useful to level up security on my iOS device but some of my work can done with this wifi only.

At least it should had the function that user can choose by them-self to reject these "unsecured network"??

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11

So I used a variation of the suggested fix (it didn't work for me) and this has worked with my offices Aruba network hardware for multiple iOS 11 people.

1) For your unsecured wifi connection, add an invalid DNS server IP (I used 192.1.1.1)

2) Try to Connect/Join

3) While it is trying to connect, click on the connection to view the details (probably not required but I did this)

4) Go to your browser and try to load http://www.apple.com

5) This might take 20-30 seconds, but eventually the wifi icon connection will show up.

6) Remove the invalid DNS entry.

Do I need to add an invalid DNS server IP everytime when I connect to the unsecured network? Very troublesome!

I only face the problem after upgrading to iOS 11.3, and it happens when the public network requires authentication.

All I can tell you is that it's a problem with either your phone or the networks you are trying to use. I just, as a test, connected successfully to a public network that required login.

Get rid of Boingo or other similar wifi apps. Worked for me.

I had same issue. None of the suggestions here helped. But when I uninstalled Boingo the problem was gone.

When I had that problem I had to unistall Boingo. That fixed the issue. See if you using it or other apps that control your wifi.

Are you scam bot or something? Did you read my answer? There was no internet at all at Starbucks that was the issue for me. Is there any admin checking this post?

this really did work after months of calling Apple and Verizon. I tell you mo more updates for awhile. Shame on Apple for not being able to help me the first time I called.
