Can’t sign in to guest network [Resolved]

[thumbtak]

I was in a situation where the Internet was so slow, that a download that should be a few minutes to ten minutes, at normal, was taking close to an hour. I saw that I could connect to a guest connection, which of course isn’t really safe, but I had no choice, if  I wanted to do some light web activity. I connected to the guest network and I was taken to a blank sign in page with nothing to do. It failed to load anything. I fiddled with it for sometime, until I figured out how to get it working.

Here is how I resolved my issue:

1. Disable your network, if on a mobile device that has 4G, 5G, etc. You can do this from the notification panel and finding G, 4G, etc., icon.
2. Find the guest network you want to connect to.
3. Connect to the guest network.
4. Get taken to the blank sign in page.
5. Go to your web browser of choice.
6. Go to the following website http://neverssl.com. If you are on a device that doesn’t force https, it should work. If not, try one of the following sites, http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, http://www.google.com, or http://example.com.
7. After doing this, you should see the sign in page. At this point, it shouldn’t be blank.
8. If you want, after signing in or doing what the page says, you can reconnect to your mobile network.
9. All should be working.
