[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1645715, member: 204485"] This is simply the way the WiFi router has been set up. Security settings need to be changed to allow login via WEP password. However this would prevent just anyone from using it without first obtaining the network name and password from staff. Usually the "owner" would change that password every week. The "Public" setup is popular because it times out leaving bandwidth for other users and lets face it, users in a coffee shop often don't bother to log out. So you may see it as a pain but from the administrators point of view it saves a lot of work. Having said all that you shouldn't have to reboot or do you mean "relaunch" the browser? [/QUOTE]
