Since I've had the S3, whenever I'm in an Optimum Wifi area, the login/connection prompt comes up and I get the Wifi symbol with the question mark in it in the notification area... but whenever I put my account info in and try to click Connect Automatically (or whatever the the green button is) so that whenever I'm in a Optimum area it remembers my device and connects via Optimum Wifi automatically without me having to log in each time. But when I enter my info, then press the button, nothing happens...... and I'm not sure I'm connected or logged in. Apparently I'm not if it keeps coming up. Is there a fix for this? Does anyone else have this problem in the NY area (using Optimum)? The Wifi sux but when it does work, sometimes it better than the 3G connections when it's low. Anyone have any info?

I will try it later if I remember and let you know. I have it but where I live I have LTE so I use that instead.
I did use it once and it seemed to work ok.
You can also log into your Optimum account and add the phone if you are home and on your cablemodem connection via Wifi. Then you don't have to deal with login in from the phone.
I think you get 5 devices.

Optimum online is Cablevision's Wifi hotspot network. Cablevision is out of Long Island, NY and covers parts of NJ, CT, NY and I think Mass.
They have a partnership with Comcast and TimeWarner for reciprocal sharing in these areas as well.
I used it a bit more on my Fascinate as Verizon's 3G network sucks.

I have optimum wifi and the best way to get it to work is to go to the website on your desktop computer, log in, and click on the optimum wifi link on the left side. From there you can add your Mac address for your device. After that you will not be asked to put in your credentials at a wifi hot spot.
