Topic: Trouble with Wi-Fi popups.

I recently bought a Nintendo switch 2, and am trying to connect it to hotel wifi. This issue that I am having is that the Wi-Fi requires you to fill out a pop up in order to connect, but does give you a brief connection to see this pop up. When the switch gets that brief connection, it immediately exits out of the internet menu, and I can’t get the pop up to show so I can connect to the internet. What can I do?

@Alohakauai When I was staying at a hotel a few years ago I had the same problem trying to connect to their internet. I asked a hotel employee at the front desk and they helped me out. So I suggest asking one of the employees there.

It was a issue in a few hotels for me on Switch 1. Sometimes the hotel staff were able to help. A couple times I instead connected my phone to wifi, made a hotspot with my phone, and connected Switch to the hotspot.

I've had this issue with Switch 1 for ages:

This reddit post suggests opening the eShop, which is essentially just a web browser, and it may redirect you to the hotel's login page:

This one suggests a way to get the URL, and enter it into your phone to get to the authentication page that way.

As @Tasuki also suggests, you may be able to have the hotel staff add your Switch's MAC address to their system, which would just bypass the authentication page altogether.

That would mean your connecting to their Private Wifi not the Public wifi. Some Switches requires web browser to accept their wifi term to allow wifi usage. That would mean use your smartphone connect to their wifi and agree to terms and turn on hotspot and use your Switch to connect to your hotspo to get the wifi usage.

@decoy82 Hotel will not register your MAC into their system that is creating a security hole in their system.
