How to Connect a Nintendo 3DS to a Hotel's TOS Protected Wi Fi

Last Updated: August 14, 2019

If you are staying at a hotel with a TOS (terms of service) protected wi-fi you will be unable to connect your 3DS using the standard method. Here's the solution.

Steps

1
Find the TOS web address first.
- If you have a laptop, try connecting that way. Write down the web address for the gatekeeper page. In most instances, this will be a page that requests your first and last names and room number and asks that you agree to the terms of service for a period of 24 hours.
2
Use the Internet option on the 3DS to "search for an access point". Select one of the hotel's access points. The connection will not work at this time since you need to agree to Terms of Service before you can connect but no matter, all you want to do at this point is have it configured on your 3DS.

5
Simply fill out the applicable fields and submit. You will be instantly connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi.

Try connecting to the network with another device that hasn't been connected yet. If you don't have another device, search through your history for the TOS page or wait for your connection to time out. If this didn't work, disconnecting from the network then reconnecting may log you out, and thus bring you back to the TOS page. If all else fails, try talking to hotel management to see if they can log your device out of the network or better still, provide you with the URL of the TOS page.

Try typing in .org or .com, and just type in exactly what it says and then it should work.
