In the first instance, you can try:

• Removing (forgetting) the wireless network from your device WiFi settings
• Turning your WiFi off and on again
• Rebooting your device

It’s possible that your location may be causing interference with the WiFi signal – try moving to another location to attempt to connect to the service.

Some smartphone roaming client apps may interfere with connectivity on our network – try uninstalling/deleting the app and rebooting your device before attempting to connect again.

Please make sure that wireless is turned on in your device settings, it’s possible that it has been turned off accidentally – please refer to the Getting connected section for instructions.

Try moving to another location and scanning again – smartphones have very small WiFi antennas, so it’s possible that your device isn’t discovering the network. If possible, try another device with WiFi.

You may be moving out of range of the WiFi. Check your device’s WiFi signal strength indicator and move to a different location.

Some devices may automatically disconnect you from the wireless network when they have not been used for a period of time.

It’s also possible that your location may be causing interference with the WiFi signal – try moving to another location and attempt to connect to the service.

When connecting to a public WiFi service, some devices automatically increase their security settings to protect you, and display a warning message about unsecured networks.

It’s essential that you take some basic steps to protect your device, whether you are using wireless or wired internet, or on a private or public network:

• Install and use anti-virus software and a firewall
• Make sure your device software and operating system is up-to-date
• Ensure your device is password protected
• Don’t leave your device unattended in a public place
• Only enter any personal banking or other sensitive details once you know the website is secure (normally a padlock icon on your browser)
