MacBook doesn’t prompt Login page when joining network

[clivechafer]

When I try to join a new public network, in a pub or on a train for example, on my MacBook Air, it shows I have 4 bars on the menu bar, so I have a good, strong signal, but I can never actually get online and do anything, because unlike my iPhone, it doesn’t then prompt to a login page for me to accept the terms and conditions and get started. So it continues to show I’m connected in the menu bar, but I’m actually not. Is there any way to make it go to the login page?

Normally, I get the login/terms page when I actually access the network, not when it connects. So opening Safari, for example, triggers the page to appear.

You could try Settings/WiFi/<<network name>>/Forget this network.

Yes, I tried launching the browser, but it just stalls and nothing happens.
