Wentworth Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've never used Wi-Fi before and just wanted to check if I was doing something wrong. I bought an Ipod Touch and tried it at a coffee shop with free wi-fi. The Ipod Wi-Fi was set to 'On'. It connected to the shop wi-fi but Safari(Ipod web browser) said it wasn't connected to the net. I guessed that it should be OK as it was connected to the shop signal and the shop people said the net was working fine. The Ipod settings show that they had a signal but there was a 'padlock' sign. I'm told that this shows that the wi-fi signal needs a password. Can anyone tell me if I just need to put the password in, the shop people didn't understand me when I asked them about this - also, is there a default password for places that give free wi-fi.

bkkjames Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Padlock usually means the network is secure - meaning you need a code to access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wentworth Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Does that mean I need to ask the 'shop' /net connection owners for a password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
