Troubleshooting FAQ
I'm having trouble getting the "Sign-In to Wi-Fi network" popup to appear on my Apple device. What can I do?
Sometimes a device may not get the signal from the KFPL network on its own. To prompt the popup, open Safari and type captive.apple.com into the address bar. This should trigger the popup to sign to the KFPL network.
I see a warning message about certificates when I open my browser. What should I do?
Internet Explorer generates this message to warn you that the security certificate being presented by our hotspot is not from a known certificate agency. That is OK.
I can’t see the KFPLibrary network. What should I do?
If you can see other networks when you are at the Library but KFPLibrary doesn’t appear, please report this to staff at the Service Desk. If you can’t see any networks, try repairing your wireless adapter by right-clicking the Wi-Fi icon in the Systray and clicking “Repair.”
Why can I access the Wi-Fi network in some parts of the library but not others?
Wireless Internet uses radio waves to send signals between devices on the network; certain materials such as metal or concrete can obstruct or absorb these signals. Also, your wireless card may not have enough range to associate with the access point from every corner of the branch.
