A user in a hotel is unable to access the internet even though their laptop connected to the hotel Wi-Fi SSID and received an IP address. Opening a browser shows nothing. What is the MOST likely cause, and what action resolves it?
- A.The hotel uses a captive portal - all HTTP traffic is intercepted and redirected to a login/payment page; the user must open a browser and navigate to any HTTP (not HTTPS) URL to trigger the redirect and complete registration
- B.The hotel's DHCP server assigned a link-local (169.254.x.x) address indicating DHCP failure; the user should manually configure a static IP from the hotel's subnet
- C.The hotel blocks all DNS queries; the user should manually configure the public DNS server 8.8.8.8 in their network adapter settings
- D.
