Do you have a BT or Fon account?

I think you select the WiFi signal you want a then click "apply" from memory, then you have to wait for the log in page to open up if the signal is good enough to log in or whatever it does.

hi paul... assuming you've got to viewing the various networks , this is the procedure
select the one you want by clicking on the left..
usually choose select from the bottom right options... if there are a number of networks with similar names around then you use lock to access point..
you then press change.
then a blue bar appears usually saying configuration changes have been made ,,,, you need then to press apply...
after that give it a minute and change to the main page to view the signal strength indicator...
you also need to see figures in the tx/rx rates... if you don't then you arnt connected...
if its fon your on you should be directed to their log in when you try to go online,,,
hope that helps..

Not bad but not great. Hit n miss . Theres a chance you might get it as night goes on. Sometimes that happens. Maybe you could try moving the aerial to outside or tweaking it around a little.

1) Follow MotorhomeWifi instructions to get connected to the access point and then check ("MAIN" tab) that you are connected and have figures for both TX and RX rate.
2) In a new browser tab, attempt to go to a website; this should bring up the BT login page, on which you need to select the Fon option and log in using your user ID and password.
At stage 1, if you are getting good signal strength but no TX/RX rate, it's possible that something is impeding the handshaking; I've sometimes found it necessary to move the aerial to a different position to avoid foliage in the line of sight to the access point - sometimes horizontally, sometimes vertically (perhaps lower, to pass beneath trees).
At stage 2, if you are attempting to connect to an https:// address, you may receive a security certificate-related error message; this is because you are being forwarded to BT's login page rather than the address that you input - opt to continue anyway. It is worth noting that in some countries the forwarding to the login page may not work at all if you use an https:// address - SFR Fon in France being a case in point.

MHW's instructions are generally well-written. If followed step-by-step, it should be possible to achieve a connection to a sufficiently strong Wi-Fi signal. And MHW offer support if required. Problems arise if one ignores the instructions and misses out key steps, particularly if using a small mobile phone screen as someone that I met earlier this year was doing - the inability to see most of the page on the screen was a major impediment.
I find it much easier to step through written instructions than to try to follow a YouTube video, especially if I don't have an Internet connection!
