public WiFi?

Hi all! How can I protect my computer while using public wifi in a hotel?  The last time I used my hotmail has been hacked. Y at - it a free software to download to prevent it? If I just take netflicks and don't go to my email, I'm sure? Thank you! K

As long as you only enter passwords or other private data on the secured web pages, you are also sure you can reasonably be. A web page is secure if you see a lock icon in the address bar of Safari as soon as it is loaded.

  • Look on OS3 connects to a public wifi network, that has a connection to the Web page.

    in the United Kingdom, we have a public wifi network called "_the cloud", which is free to use, but requires that you register for a free account.

    Once signed, the phone will automatically connect when you are next in the range.

    It seems that since the release of WatchOS3, the Apple Watch will connect now to this public WiFi even with the phone turned off or in flight mode. Suggesting it is connected to a Web page by its self.

    It seems to me that it is only this a public wifi network that does this now, but can't figure out how!

    Great news in any case, I hope that more public wifi networks completely agrees!

    If someone else in the United Kingdom that uses 'cloud _L' public wifi could test this point too, that would be great. I hope that we could get an official comment from Apple?

  • A certain website says 'server not found' on the home network, but public wifi site loads.

    I'm trying to access a secure site to my online school. At home, my desktop computer and my lap top came up with "Cannot find server" page on trying to connect. ALL other sites work fine. Public wifi in a cafeteria, the site works very well. I asked my school on this subject and have said I'm talking to my ISP (Qwest). I did, and they were not able to give me a solution and referred me to my school IT Department. I know this isn't a problem with the site of the school, because it worked well on a different network. I also tried to load the site Web of Chrome and IE, and none of them will not let me connect to the site on my home network.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Too bad! I thought of it on mine. I had to change the DNS settings from my service provider to a third party.

  • Logon screen does not appear for public wifi

    I recently bought two Macs (Macbook Pro and Macbook Air).

    When I connect to wifi, which requires a logon, the Macbook Pro works fine. The Macbook Air does not work. It connects to the network, but when you open a browser, it says that you are not connected to internet (which is true, as did no logon).

    Forums offers various ways to approach this (try to force the login screen by entering the URL, look at the DNS settings, enter http://192.168.1.1 etc etc) but none of these work.

    I am lucky to have two Macs and I watched the network settings, Notification etc settings and they are (essentially) - things the same as the Mac address are obviously different.

    Two Macs are OS X El Captain (Version 10.11.4).

    Can anyone help as the Macbook Air is not very useful if I can't access public wifi?

    And if anyone has the definitive answer, I think it would help a lot of people.

    Thank you very much.

    How are you connected to the router? What's an auto assigned DNS or that you must do it manually.  If it's self assigned, remove the wifi settings in the preferences system, network. Network / airport / advanced, under the airport click Network in the box, then the negative pole. Then close and open the airport icon in the top menu. Make sure that the airport is on. Click on join the network, and then follow the instructions.  you will be asked for the name of the network and security. then your network password.  Do of course, don't forget that this network is enabled. You are basically removing the network in system preferences and starting over.

  • Unable to connect to public WiFi after installing iOS 9.3.1

    Every since the installation of iOS 9.3 and 9.3.1 is impossible to connect to a public WiFi, including Starbucks/Google and Xfinity.  I have no problem to connect to my home WiFI and WiFi in the public library. I was hopeful that installation 9.3.1 could solve this problem, but alas no, I have this problem with both my iPhone and my iPad Air 2 6 more.

    The difficulties of connection on multiple devices would tell me that the network is probably the problem.  It is very unlikely for an air of iPad 2 and iPhone 6 s to have the same problem (even with an iOS update), and you can always connect to your House and some other networks.

  • Setting up a local network private through the device that extracts public wifi internet

    I travel a lot in a RV I don't have a continuous Internet connection wherever I go, usually a public wifi some Camping I am for. I have several devices that I use, but I don't want that they are open to the public wifi network. I've had people send photos from their phone to my Xbox so that I use and I want to be more secure and control my devices.

    I have a knowledge of basic networking. I was able to use my laptop to connect to a public wifi and then share the connection through Windows on the LAN ethernet port. I then connect that to my old Netgear DGND3700v2 DSL model with its DHCP function disabled. It worked for several months now, and I am able to connect to the ports of my router modem and lan with my devices. But some games on the xbox does not work because I can't redirect ports or control static and other IP addresses. I think that there should be a much easier way to do it.

    I looked in my router Repeater functions, but I don't think that's the way I need to go. I have no access to the routers of the campsites configure them as bases. I need something that will pull simply bind an existing wifi and then deliver this private to my LAN connection.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    It worked perfectly. I bought a Netgear AC1200 and easily plugged into the local public wifi. I then wired to the LAN cable/Fiber gray on the Netgear router port and then reset the router ran smart installation thereon and he set up hands down with a new local network on a separate ip address range. Now all my devices independently connect to my router via wifi or LAN and use internet through the Extender without that person outside to get in and I don't have my laptop of aging on all the time to do so.

  • Why can't connect Internet to Macdonalds or other places public wifi? I have no trouble sometimes "borrowing" wifi unsecured neighbor.

    I use a netbook with Windows 7. That this has something to do with a firewall?

    Well this morning I went to two Macdonalds and two parks with public wifi. And like all people whose car noise stop when they get to the mechanic, I had no problem online. Did nothing different than the last two months. So I must conclude that go public with such a basic problem was all that was needed - a bit like a confession. Thanks for both answers.

    Hello

    Apple Watch can connect to a WiFi network that your iPhone has used before if your watch has been connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth at this previous connection.

    The network must be 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz. The watch can connect to 5 GHz Wi - Fi public networks requiring connections, profiles or subscriptions.

  • No fix for the iPhone 6 WIFI "incorrect password" error?

    Was started shortly after the iOS Update 9. We have several customers experiencing the same problem with iPhones and iPads.

    Yes, we have been meticulously enter the password. We are aware that it is case-sensitive.

    Apparently, there is some sort of strange intermittent problem. My child MX5X2LL/A 6 IPhone will connect to WIFI for a week or two, and then completely to 'forget' the passwords to each wireless network unique, that it is never connected to any notification and without any warning. Then, a week or two later, miraculously connect wireless once more. This weird bug is driving us bananas - especially with all the data overages. It all seemed begins at the time of upgrade to iOS 9. Here's what we've done since September:

    • upgrade to iOS 9.1 and later 9.1 updates

    • Re-set to update to iOS 9.3.1

    • clear and reset the network settings at least 12 times

    • clear and reset the entire phone three times

    • Reset all wireless routers, change the SSID, changed passwords

    A few things that do not seem to give us at least some sort of progress, but still unacceptable:

    • people with disabilities find my iphone - connected to WIFI immediately, then he lost again a week later

    • connected to the public WIFI hotspot by Bright House, but not through WIFI interface type

    • connected to two 5G wireless networks, even if it would not connect to 2 same G network with same or different passwords

    The signal strength is great in the world. I checked all the obvious and not so obvious stuff. Running a password access point is dangerous and not an option. It is not heat, because in this case from a cold start. The only thing I can find is a difference of firmware in the authentication in the WIFI chip used on the sellers of MX5X2LL / a. are swapped mid-year model in all mobile phones, computers and tablets and is usually transparent, so there may be a problem specific to the provider, Apple is not aware of.

    Apple support has been useless and unfortunately pompous as usual, declining several times there is a problem and asking I have send my phone to paying off-warranty service or a replacement, which is NOT a solution, thank you. There are at least hundreds if not thousands of people posting here who have EXACTLY the SAME PROBLEM. My last post was removed because some Apple genius assumed somehow it's funny business going on, but I can assure you and to prove it has NOT NEVER been hacked, cracked, unlocked or jailbroken, whatever that means. Maybe they have a mandate to delete messages that indicate their equipment cannot 'some work '.

  • Satellite Pro C850 - problems with WiFi after Windows update 8.1

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give some advice on a problem I have.

    Had an adjustable C850 Pro for a few months and worked well on Windows 8.
    I myself am then harassed and intimidated by Microsoft Update in order to install Windows 8.1 and in a moment of weakness, I succumbed (got sick of the nagging).

    Since that time, my wifi is very intermittent; either I'm on another computer write this and the laptop is essentially not connected to the internet.

    For some reason any (although I didn't try it before), I can not connect via ethernet either, so I think it's probably the driver problems. (I also tried to connect the public wifi but fails).

    I tried to install the driver WiFi Toshiba 8.1 but that has not solved the problem.
    Then I noticed that I'm supposed to install a bunch of drivers in the order.

    Maximum setting to do it, but the first package (associated with bluetooth) said I have to remove the current driver... I try by "turning off", then "Uninstall" but 8.1 seems to re - install automatically and I don't know how to disable this option (I can try to delete the driver file, I guess, but I'm sure 8.1 covered too and will probably launch a drone to try me out ", if I do). *

    Any kind soul there suggestions on a way forward? Pls.

    I see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now. :(

    Hello

    > I don't see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now
    All your problems with the Windows 8.1 update related to the fact that you have not upgraded the Windows 8.1 system as recommended by Toshiba.

    Details:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    Solution?
    Back to Windows 8 (reset the system back to factory settings)
    Then, install all updates and patches for Windows 8 and follow along with the upgrade of system as described on the Toshiba Windows 8.1 upgrade page

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver, you will find all the instruments that must be installed in the correct order and Windows 8.1 driver!

  • WiFi for computer laptop HP ENVY 15 and Ethernet connection problem

    Hi, a few months ago, I brought a HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC running windows 8.1. It is connected to my wifi with Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter. My modem is a Technicolour TG582n 2 Wireless ADSL + with wireless 802.11 b/g/n compatible.

    As soon as I got there I noticed a problem of internet where I would be able to connect to my home WiFi network and get full reception bars but would have a hard time to access Web sites on web browsers such as chrome, mozilla and internet explore pages takes some time to load and eventually reached a page "this webpage is not available" (for chrome). This problem seems to occur only with my home network as it can connect to public wifi and my wifi friends and yet I have many other devices such as laptops and other smartphones connected to my wifi that did not at all have poblems with internet and it just seems to be mine. When I connect via ethernet I get good connection for about 10 minutes and then I was completely cut off. However, I can upload a file via the wifi ok if I can get it to start and I can play a game online well enough but often disconnected after an hour or two.

    I checked for new updates of pilot, but they seem to be up to date and im do not manually downloading and installing one on the hp site but I tried (I did probably wrong). I ran the diagnostic function, but it cannot detect all problems. I looked around the internet as well, but still havn't found a solution.

    Also I got the laptop sent back and received a new but the same problem persisted and as I walked through the process of the person I was talking to a admitted that I had a problem like they remote limited from my laptop for a little for the access problem.

    Please help, I've had this problem for a month or two now and is really becoming a problem since I use my laptop computer for purposes of requiring home internet work.

    Thanks in advance and I hope you guys can help!
