When I connect to wifi in public places, hotels etc. in settings it will say connected but when I try to go to a site a message says not connected even though settings says I am. Recently on a Southwest flight I connected to their wifi but nothing would work, sometimes I got a partial page but that was it. My wife has been in the same locations w/her I-Pad and it connects fine.

Wifi works fine at home.

What's the fix?

Welcome to Android Central! As you probably know, when you connect to public networks like that, you usually have to accept the terms on a welcome page. When you first connect, do you see a notification icon appear that tells you that you have to sign in to the network? Tapping that notification should open a separate browser page with the welcome page. That notification sometimes takes several seconds to appear.

If that isn't occurring, what happens if you reboot the device?
