smartphone automatically attempts to connect to a previously used
network, starting with the most recently used network.

another network name.
Connect to a captive portal
When connecting to some Wi-Fi access points, such as in a coffee shop, a
hotel, or an airport, the notification for a captive portal sometimes appears.
This means that to connect to this Wi-Fi access point, you must first go to a
special Internet page, known as a captive portal, before you can connect to
the Internet. A captive portal might be used by your Wi-Fi host for
authentication or for payment to access the Internet.
To connect to a captive portal:
1 Tap at the bottom of the screen and then tap the notification
Captive Portal Detected on WiFi.
2 If required, review the security certificate notices and tap one of the
following:
Trust Certificate: Connects you to the captive portal page
automatically whenever you connect to this Wi-Fi access point.
Trust Certificate Once: Connects you to the captive portal page for
this session only. The next time you try to connect to this Wi-Fi access
point, you will be asked to trust this certificate again.
Don’t Trust Certificate: Cancels the connection.
3 Your Wi-Fi host may require you to view advertisements, pay a fee, or
accept conditions of use. Follow the instructions onscreen.
