When Wi-Fi says: “connected, no internet” what’s actually happening?
In: Technology
Your OS, once connected, is trying a “known good” endpoint. This will vary based on who makes your OS, but it’s essentially the same.
If it gets a good response, internet confirmed. If it gets no response, no internet. If it gets a specific kind of response saying Authorization Needed, it prompts you to open up what is likely the sign-in page for the public wifi.
