Public Wi-Fi and Bridge Connection

[emanuelmcruzz]

Hi, first post here.
I'm having trouble connection to a public wi-fi for about 1-2 weeks now. I used to be able to access the wi-fi with no problem, but now i can't connect to it. I tried the refresh my connection registries, forget network, a bunch of stuff, to no success. What bothers me it's the fact that i have 2 more laptops besides my desktop, and one of them can always connect to the public wi-fi.
I tried to work around this and bridged a connection with ethernet from the laptop which has the connection to the public wi-fi to my desktop. It works, i can access the login page and use the network for 3-5 minutes, and then i lose my connection. I have to be constantly turning off and on the ethernet network, which is a bummer.

So my questions are:
-What can i do to connect my desktop to the public wi-fi like i used to do? Since my other laptop can access it?
-In the case of not getting a solution for the first problem, how can i make the bridged connection stable? So i don't have to be constantly and manually turning it off and on.

Thanks in advance,
Hope you guys can help me.

Ps: Oh the irony, the internet connection just dropped as i was about to post this thread.

What/whose public wifi and where?

Seems unusual to have a situation where you would be having 2 or 3 devices (2 laptops and 1 desktop) all simultaneously connecting to a public wifi hotspot? Especially the desktop - doubt you are moving it around.

My thought is that your use of the "public wifi" has been detected and that measures are being taken to block you.

And Forum rules prohibit helping you with "work-arounds".

Please provide some more clarification and details.

Let me correct myself, it's a hotspot from my internet provider, and i pay for that service. I used to use it in my 2nd apartment, and i even went to the internet provider store to explain the case, they said the technical team was gonna contact me, still waiting. I think you got the term "work around" as a illegal thing, it's not, i actually pay for the service, i have 1 laptop that can access to it, constantly, and i have a desktop that used to be able to get internet and now, even if a get a bridged ethernet connection, it only stays up for some minutes, it's really frustrating.

Bridging is simply a way to connect two networks in a prescribed manner - not a "work around".

And the necessary configuration settings are all within your purview and hardware.

Overall, the hotspot matter/service can only be resolved between you and your ISP.

Keep pressing your ISP and escalate within the company.

And as there is no way to truly know what is what with respect to the problem at hand I am closing this thread.
