Did you get an error message? What did it say?

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center Check the settings for that WIFI.

I do not get any error message at all. Ideally website of WIFI service provider should appear upon selecting same from list of available networks and opening the Firefox browser there after. Most public WIFI (airports etc) need acceptance of terms and hotels need my entering password. Now way to do that unless related website opens.

Is there any setting required that can allow migration to website of WIFI network I select ?

Thanks.

What should be the CORRECT setting for WIFI ?

For me; Go to the WiFi location. Open the Network and Sharing Center. Look for and select the local WiFi. Follow the directions for access. One last thing, tag the WiFi as a Public, not private network.
