How to Fix Blank “Sign in to Network” WiFi Issue
A number of people reported the issue of not being able access their internet, by logging in to the WiFi network even after providing the correct credentials, although they were connected to the WiFi network signal. The reason being the login screen appears blank or empty and might probably give an impression that the page is stuck or still has to load.
This issue will be mostly seen when connecting to public WiFi networks, such as a hotel WiFi or an office or any school network. While many might argue that this is an issue with the portal or the hosting or with the browser on the mobile, let me assure you that in most cases these are not the ones causing the hindrance. In fact the issue seems to be mostly with the Android phones having Android L 5.0 installed.
Without further ado lets delve into the solution as I assume that most of you are browsing internet over your mobile network and would not want to waste your precious mobile data.
Steps for the Fix :
- Connect to your WiFi network and verify that the connection has been established and the connection is successful.
- Now usually, a notification is shown to the user asking him to sign into his network.
Open the notification and click on “Sign into Wi-Fi network”. - On clicking on this, you are redirected to the login page where you have to enter your credentials.
In most cases these are provided by the hotel or the office whose network you are able to connect. - If the login screen is loaded perfectly, enter your credentials and click on Submit. In cases where the login page doesn’t load properly and is shown empty, click on the 3 dots icon seen on the top right and tap on “Use this network as is”. On doing this, the login screen disappears and you will probably re-directed to your home screen.
- Now open the browser from your smart phone such as chrome or safari and navigate to any website by entering the link
ex : www.techknozone.com
By clicking on go, you would be re-directed to the WiFi login screen and this time the page would have loaded properly. - Enter your credentials and you are good to go and leach up the internet connection, while saving your mobile data.
Hope this solution has fixed your problem. Do comment below if in case you need any further assistance or you have any other easier fix or solution to this problem.

Please help. I have never yet had to sign into Wifi. I just connect to my Wifi with my password and it connects. It is a Huawei-B43C. Suddenly now I keep getting a stupid message on my phone every time I connect to Wifi….sign in to Wifi. What is this? Driving me CRAZY. I can’t get onto Internet or send/receive Whatsapp messages or anything now.
im having the problem now. a blank white page with no three dots. when i open a brower it just says “no internet? chrome will let you know when this page is ready – cancel”
It appears to be a problem with your chrome browser rather than WiFi Network problem.
my sign in to network page does not have the 3 dots, what do i do
