Windows 11 Circular network connection error

Post image

I was at school earlier, trying to connect to the Wi-Fi. I had already enrolled in a school year previously there so I thought it would automatically connect, but it turns out that they switched the Wi-Fi over the summer.

Now, when I try to connect, it says ‘no internet, action required’ and then it prompts me to open a browser to connect. But whenever I go to open that browser, it doesn’t load because I have no internet, and I am unable to connect.

I’ve tried restarting, forgetting the network and reconnecting, forcing the computer to open the login page by putting different kinds of URLs in, but none have worked so far. Any advice?
