REGARDLESS of what the initial notice says . open the drop down menu by swiping from the top notice line downward . tap the wifi icon and it will turn off. then turn it back on and tape the gear icon that will open settings , tap the wifi line to open the wifi settings. you should see your network there and be able to sign on.
you should start with a blank browser page just type in a website or topic. it should go to the site .
also try installing firefox from the store and then use the desktop icon to open the browser.
if you still have problems comeback and describe.
I have 3 galaxy products Tab 4 ", Tab S 8.4" and note 3 smartphone

Still having the same issue. It promptly connects to the network, but then wants me to log in via the browser like a hotel or similar network, but loads nothing in the page. I can't load any Web page or connect through any apps. It is an open network, and has never asked for a sign in before, and connects to my s5 phone without a problem

Wi-Fi technology enables wireless Internet and network access through public and private hot spots.
These hot spots are widely located in homes, restaurants, bookstores, coffee shops and other businesses, so you can keep connected wherever you may travel.
To connect to Wi-Fi, you must have an enabled wireless adapter on your computer.
Most modern laptops and many desktops have this adapter built into the system, but many lack such capabilities.
However, a wireless adapter is easily installed via USB, which allows you to connect to available networks through Windows 7.
Enable your wireless adapter. Most laptops have a hot key labeled with a radio antenna.
Hold the "Fn" key and press this key to toggle wireless on or off.
Desktops likely have a physical antenna on the back of your computer that is typically always on. If you don't see such a hot key or antenna, you need to acquire a USB wireless adapter.
Attach the USB wireless adapter to an available USB port on your computer.
Windows 7 will automatically install the necessary drivers for most adapters.
If it does not, insert the CD that came with the USB wireless adapter into your drive and choose to install their drivers.
Restart your computer if you do not see a wireless icon in your Windows 7 notification area.
Click the wireless icon in the Windows 7 notification area and click the network name to which you want to connect.
If this is your home network, the correct network will likely be the one with the strongest signal.
Click "Connect" and enter the wireless security passphrase, if required.
Only secured networks will ask for a passphrase, but some public networks will require browser authentication instead.
Open your browser and navigate to any website.
If the hot spot requires browser authentication, your website request is redirected to an information page.
Follow the instructions on this page to get Wi-Fi.
This may entail clicking "Accept," entering a given password or entering a cell phone number.
After authentication, attempt your website again to verify accessibility.
Hope this helps
