Hey,
Some connections I use, in particular one at a library, open a browser window with a login panel when you first connect, however sometimes it doesn't work and I might keep disconnecting and connecting to try and get it to open the browser on the login panel but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it and I might be trying for ages.

Does anyone know a sure way to get it to open the connection? I often have trouble with public networks like that so I'm not sure what the issue is

Any help would be appreciated!

Clear cache on browser. Forget/remove wifi connection and reconnect.

Tahnks, I'll check if any of that works next time Seems to happen quite a lot that the connection acts kinda strange and doesn't do what it's meant to.
