- Has anybody else tried using the Playbook at Edmonton International Airport? I tried three different Playbooks on different occasions and was able to connect to the wifi once. I even called the support of the wifi provider but they were no help.
This is the only airport wifi that I am having problem with but my phone and laptop connect with no problem. So I don't know what is at fault here.02-13-12 08:03 PMLike 0 - They have internet in Edmonton? LoL

xD llololopololololo
maybe there is a limit on how many devices are able to connect to the wifi (not a problem at yvr) probably due to the router
did you try to restart your playbooks/wifi?
was your smartphone able to connect to it?
i had a similar problem when i was at mcdonalds. i had to keep on trying to connect for like 3 minutes.02-13-12 09:50 PMLike 0 - I had problems there too. It drove me nuts for a while, but then I tried connecting manually, entering in the SSID. That "solved" the problem and gave me a rock sold connection. I don't know why entering the SSID manually should make a difference, but it did. Not really a proper solution though, connecting manually eventually will get really annoying.ninepbs likes this.02-14-12 06:53 AMLike 1
- Superfly_FRRetired ModeratorIf you went already (some times ago) in this location and tried to get wifi working, go to wifi settings, pull the dop-down list to "Known networks" and delete the previously recorded one.
Then It'll show again in the "available networks" list (dropdown again). try to sync from here and see what appends.
Normally, you should be prompted that you need to sign-in or so and a browser session should start with the wifi login homepage. If not, you may try to start your browser and call whatever page, should be redirected to login.
Lest us know the kind of error (if any) you see while trying to pair with the network and when does it appends (hooking, obtaining IP ...)
Hope it helps.ninepbs likes this.02-14-12 07:15 AMLike 1 - i have had similar issues in various hotels ....where i just keep getting a try again error. My solution, do a hard reset of the PB (hold the power button and both vol buttons at same time for 15 seconds) ....can be annoying but works every time. I can connect immediately after the hard reset .....may want to give it a try.ninepbs likes this.02-14-12 08:11 AMLike 1
- You could have used your BlackBerry smartphone to connect to the airport WiFi and then bridged your BlackBerry PlayBook to use the data connection of the smartphone.02-14-12 08:41 AMLike 0
- I have had good luck at all hotels but Toronto Pearson was on and off. I can see why, it is supplied by Rogers. It was like the fiber optic cable they installed in our neighbourhood. The Internet was reasonably good until they put in high speed fiberoptic. After that it ran like cold mollasses. They could never figure out what went wrong. Satellite dishes popped up all over after that disaster.02-14-12 10:57 AMLike 0

- I couldn't connet on the 14th either but didn't have a chance to try last night when we returned. The brother in law could connect with his iThingy. I didn't have anything else to try. Has anyone attempted to connect at EIA since the ver 2 upgrade? Below are the logs of my ********************************

connection attempts:02-22-12 02:01 PMLike 0 - After OS 2.1 upgrade, I can no longer connect to the wifi at Edmonton International Airport. I was able to connect previously using the manual connection method. That no longer works after OS 2.1 upgrade.
Does anyone have a solution?
(My Palm Pre phone and laptop connect at EIA with no problems. It is only the Playbook that has problem.)10-10-12 11:27 AMLike 0 - For what it's worth, I've never successfully connected anything to wifi at YEG.
I've had no trouble connecting at the Vancouver airport, Edmonton doesn't like any of my devices from phones to tablets to netbooks.10-10-12 12:04 PMLike 0 -

- EIA FREE WIFI is the one, connected with my laptop and my PB no worries. If memory serves though I did have to open the browser and agree to terms.10-10-12 07:59 PMLike 0

This has been the case for the last couple of years there, first they wanted to charge people to connect, there was no free WIFI for quite a while. Now they offer free WIFI that nobody can connect to. And not just BB devices, buddy's iPhone had the same issues on a flight we were boarding together a while back.
Shrug10-10-12 10:41 PMLike 0 - Same here, YEG has always been difficult to connect to with my BB and netbook. SFO gives me the same trouble. Not just me, but, everyone else in the area, also.10-10-12 10:51 PMLike 0
