Hi, I recently bought the £39 for 30 days of Wifi. It worked for a day on my laptop, and then stopped working afterwards. Every other device I’ve tried using has worked. Essentially, I connect to the Wifi, and it doesn’t redirect me to the log in page, nor does it give me the option to be redirected there. When I try to use the browser, I’m registered as not having any Wifi, and therefore can’t search anything as it claims I’m not connected to the internet. I tried using the mobile data from my phone, and then using the redirect suggested on the website, logged in, disconnected from the Wifi I was using and logged into EE - still no Wifi. Again, everything else works just fine, excluding my laptop.
Asking around on other online forums, I was told that whilst I have an IP, for some reason the Captive Portal isn’t loading.
If anyone knows how to help, please do. I won’t have Wifi for a month, and £39 is a lot of money. Thank you!

What device are you talking about? What's a "Captive Portal"? URL please.

Hi, @ImeowgineMe welcome to the community, and thanks for posting. I'm sorry to see you're having trouble connecting to EE WiFi on your laptop.
These are the steps to connect to the Hotspot.
First, connect to the EE WiFi network.
A EE WiFi SSID (network name) will appear in your device's available wireless networks list when you're in range of a hotspot. You can find your nearest hotspot here.
On your mobile device:
On your desktop: click the wireless icon at the bottom right of the screen and select EE WiFi from the drop-down menu.
Secondly, once connected to the EE WiFi network, you're ready to login to your closest EE WiFi hotspot and start using the internet. To login to a hotspot:
If you're an existing customer with an access account click the 'log in now' button and you'll be presented with 4 options in the drop down menu.
You are now online and can start browsing.
On desktop or tablet devices, a new web browser window may open confirming you're connected. Minimise, rather than close, the web browser window - now you're ready to browse the internet.
If you've followed these steps and still need help please give us a call.
