Introduction:
Just recently I bought a Chinese Tablet with Android to my son Thomas and surprisingly I’ve faced this issue.
Well, how complicated could be connect a device to an Hotspot (Free Wifi) network for a person that has a degree in IT?
I tell you my list of attempts in order as I thought:
- Restart the device (favorite Microsoft solution)
- Open the default router page using the following IPs/URLs
192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1 127.1.1.1 1.1.1.1 http://localhost
- Assigned Google DNS
8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
- Open an HTTP website in Incognito
http://example.com
After all those attempts failed I started thinking that probably the device was broken/not working properly but it was connected when we were at home…
Idea:
I should force the browser to do a refresh, I remembered that often appeared a page, I remembered that there was a combination of the two words Microsoft and Connect. Just I googled it and found the url
