Note

Setting a static IP address to configure a DNS server may prevent you from connecting to some public Wi-Fi networks that use captive portals — the web pages some wireless networks use to require users to log in before using their services.

If you are experiencing connectivity issues related to captive portals:

  1. Remove the static IP addresses from the device.
  2. Connect to the Wi-Fi network.
  3. Once the connection has been established, re-add the static IP addresses.
