    • If you have a laptop, try connecting that way. Write down the web address for the gatekeeper page. In most instances, this will be a page that requests your first and last names and room number and asks that you agree to the terms of service for a period of 24 hours.

    Select one of the hotel's access points. The connection will not work at this time since you need to agree to Terms of Service before you can connect but no matter, all you want to do at this point is have it configured on your 3DS.

    You will be instantly connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi.

    Try changing the DNS server setting to point to Google's, which is 008.008.008.008.

  • Question
    Is there a way to get back to the TOS page if I have already signed into my computer and have left the page?
    Community Answer
    Try connecting to the network with another device that hasn't been connected yet. If you don't have another device, search through your history for the TOS page or wait for your connection to time out. If this didn't work, disconnecting from the network then reconnecting may log you out, and thus bring you back to the TOS page. If all else fails, try talking to hotel management to see if they can log your device out of the network or better still, provide you with the URL of the TOS page.

    Try typing in .org or .com, and just type in exactly what it says and then it should work.

      Tips

      • This article was written for hotel's with free WIFI. The process will probably be the same for those that charge a fee.
        Thanks
      • You may be able to skip the Internet option on the 3DS to "search for an access point" and proceed right to the Terms of Service page on your 3DS browser. However, if you are unable to connect go back and configure the access point in your list of connections.
        Thanks
