Hotel Wifi Accessing Splash Page

DNS may not be the problem but worth a try. Go to bottom of this page for the simplest answer.
I have often had problems accessing the hotel splash pages. I think I have found one of my problems. I always set my PC's DNS to Cloudflair or Google. Setting the DNS for the IPv4 to "Automatic" seems to fix the problem. Other issues may exist but this may be the main one,
Bonus hint:
If none of the broadcasted SIDs are showing check services. Check that the WLAN AutoConfig is running. Maybe set to autostart.

You need to find the IP of the hotel's router and enter the IP address
It's the Default Gateway
Open Command Prompt
type ipconfig /all

Android Streaming box or stick can be a challenge.
I tried the DNS server IP numbers in TVBro but no luck.
When I deleted the entire address bar (http etc) and entered google.com the splash page came up.
