I've seen a new icon for a wifi signal at my workplace. I've tried connecting to the signal and it appears that I am connected, but yet I am unable to go online. What is the significance of the tiny dot above the wifi symbol. I haven't come across such a symbol like that before.

Ignore them, you will almost never get online with them.

I have seen signals with those symbols before and have never been able to get a connection. I didn't know what they were until now. Thanks for the info.
