Some film processing is better than others. I have some excellent prints (and negatives) from early 1950s Germany, taken with a Leica by my dad and processed by a local camera shop there. He reported that the processing in the US was so bad when he got back to the States, that he sold the camera.

Are you using your own DNS server? It is possible that the captive portal is blocking your access to the DNS server of your choice. You might need to use the DHCP supplied DNS server in order for the captive portal to work. On Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 5:30 PM, John Sechrest wrote: > It is a xyz.co
