Tap Stored Profiles and tap another network name. Connect to a captive portal When connecting to some Wi-Fi access points, such as in a coffee shop, a hotel, or an airport, the notification for a captive portal sometimes appears. This means that to connect to this Wi-Fi access point, you must first go to a special Internet page, known as a captive portal, before you can connect to the Internet. A captive portal might be used by your Wi-Fi host for authentication or for payment to access the Internet. To connect to a captive portal: 1 Tap at the top of the screen and then tap the notification Captive Portal Detected on WiFi. 2 If required, review the security certificate notices and tap one of the following: Trust Certificate: Connects you to the captive portal page automatically whenever you connect to this Wi-Fi access point.

Don't Trust Certificate: Cancels the connection. 3 Your Wi-Fi host may require you to view advertisements, pay a fee, or accept conditions of use. Follow the instructions onscreen.

If you remove the network from your list of known networks, however, you must reconnect to the network. Follow the steps in Connect to a new open network or Connect to a new secure network to connect to the network again. • To disconnect from a network but keep it on your list of known networks: Turn off Wi-Fi (see Turn Wi-Fi on/off). This disconnects you from the network. • To disconnect from a network and remove it from your list of known networks: Open Wi-Fi . Tap the network name, and then tap Forget Network.
