WiFi sign in

I was at a beach down Coquina and tried to connect to WiFi, failed, and now my phone tries to auto connect to Cable WiFi sign in page every time it detects a known WiFi. How do I stop it defaulting to a sign in page that I know I'm no where near.
 
Yes, it will wipe all saved WiFi entries, Bluetooth pairings, and any customizations you might have made to your cellular account settings. It does just what it implies, it wipes all network related settings back to their original defaults.
So yeah, it's a bit of a drastic step. But before you do, what happens when you just delete (a.k.a. 'forget') that one cable WiFi entry instead?

When I get to a known network, my WiFi is trying to log in to 'cable WiFi' at Coquina, and I'm at the sign in page. To log in to a known network I have to turn the WiFi off and back on again!
 
Didn’t follow the thread but go to settings, WiFi, advanced , scrol down, network notification. You can also go into manage networks and delet any saved ones there.

Is a web browser popping up? If so, clear the cache and when it does it again there may be a setting to disable this alert.

Ive seen this before here in the states with spectrum WiFi . The phone sniffs the WiFi service then a web browser pops up asking for a login.

I'll give it a go.

UPDATE


I tried forgetting the network via long pressing the WiFi icon and that didn't work. Whatevers different about the advanced menu seems to have done the trick.
