How to deal with convenience stores when Wi-Fi is not connected

There are three main solutions when not connected to a convenience store Wi-Fi.

Let's take a closer look.

Check if you are registered

If the member registration procedure is interrupted, it will not be connected correctly.Even if the registration is completed, the internet may be cut during work or some error may occur.

If you tap the URL listed in this registration confirmation email and register, suspect sorting to the spam mail folder or entering your email address.If you leave it as it is, the state of temporary registration will continue.If you don't know where the error has occurred, re -registration from the beginning.

Check the excess of use time and number of times

The Wi-Fi at each convenience store has a fixed time and number of times.If the upper limit is exceeded, it will not be connected, so check in advance.

If the time limit or number of times exceeds, the connection will suddenly expire without notice.If you make a connection error many times, you may have exceeded the usage time and the number of uses without noticing, so be sure to know how much you connected.If the daily usage limit is exceeded, it will not be available until the next day.

Look at the terminal connection status

If the convenience store router is in trouble, it may not be connected.Convenience store Wi-Fi, which is used by many people, may not be able to connect at all depending on the time of day because logs are likely to accumulate.If you can't communicate even though you can connect on a terminal, you can think of some obstacles on the device on the convenience store side.

You may not be able to connect even if you leave the store too much.In such a case, check if you can connect in the store.If the SSID is not displayed, check with the convenience store staff, as the router is not turned on or has failed.

Precautions when using a convenience store Wi-Fi

Since the convenience store Wi-Fi is a public Wi-Fi, it is necessary to carefully check the precautions when connecting to avoid virus infection and hacking when using it.

Check the SSID

When connecting to Wi-Fi at a convenience store, make sure that the convenience store officially offers the SSID.SSID with a confusing name may be set to invite malicious users to invite incorrect connections.

For example, if you connect to SSIDs such as "7sp0T" or "7 SPOT" similar to the Seven Spot SSID "7spot", you may be damaged by hacking or virus infection.

Use VPN

By using VPN, you can build a virtual network that only you can use from a network that can be accessed by an unspecified number.

VPN is encrypted, so you can connect at a high security level.If you download a dedicated app in advance, it is recommended to connect smoothly.

Access only the "https:" site

The site where the URL starts with "https:" has the characteristic that the communication is high because communication is encrypted.Depending on the browser, you will be asked to confirm when accessing an unprotected site, but in such a case you may want to refuse access.

Check the maximum usage limit and use the convenience store Wi-Fi!

Convenience store Wi-Fi has its own characteristics, so let's select the Wi-Fi that suits the application and connect it.Although it is a convenience store Wi-Fi with many benefits, the time and number of times that can be used per day are determined.If you do not connect, check if the upper limit is exceeded.

There are many stores nationwide, and a convenience store Wi-Fi that can be used immediately on the go.However, it is a public Wi-Fi, so be careful about safety when using it.
