Also, your DSi won't be able to connect because when you connect to the Starbucks network (bring a laptop and you'll see) it tries to open a log-in page, where you enter your card info. The DSi won't be able to open the log-in page before it's "connected" and so the connection will never finalize. Ditto places like Panera Bread and McDonalds (the latter is unconfirmed, but I think it works the same way). There may be some way around it, but trust me, I haven't had luck. What I HAVE had luck with is driving down the road and repeatedly searching on my DSi for a connection point. You're likely to find an unsecured house with a great connection before you go too far. Just pull over and do your business. Do you have to pay for Panera WiFi now? Last time I used it (albeit a couple years ago) it was free. Edited on Fri 5th June, 2009 @ 05:10 by Token_Girl

Staff Philip_J_Reed	27. Posted: Fri 5th Jun 2009 05:20 BST Panera is free (last I checked) but it loads some rotten "log in" page, and won't allow you to access anything else online until you click "accept these conditions" or whatever it is. Which means on something like the DSi, where the browser doesn't automatically open, your connection will never finalize. I haven't found a way around this, but if anyone CAN find a way around, please let us know!

I must say I felt pretty lame sitting there playing Mario Kart online. That said, I actually work for the company now (no comments please), and they've actually been phasing wifi out again because it just didn't draw the business they were hoping to get with it. At the place I work we had maybe two people ever ask about it before we pulled the plug on it last summer. Any network which require login sites or whatever will never work since you have to have direct access to them without these roadblocks. Maybe try a local (non-franchise) coffee house/deli/cafe? Some of them have free wifi. Edited on Fri 5th June, 2009 @ 06:25 by Pegasus
