Vienna Hotels WiFi Login Guide | Generated by AI
The WiFi at Vienna Hotels (part of the Jinjiang International group) uses a standard captive portal system for guest authentication, common in Chinese hotels. The gateway IP (172.16.16.1) is the internal router address, and accessing it (or any non-HTTPS site) redirects you to the login page at portal.jinjianghotels.com.cn. Here’s how the SMS-based login typically works—it’s straightforward and secure for basic browsing, though some users worry about data privacy (it’s hotel-managed, so use a VPN if paranoid).
Step-by-Step Process:
-
Connect to the WiFi network: On your device (phone, laptop, etc.), scan for and join the hotel’s WiFi SSID (often something like “Vienna_Free_WiFi” or “Jinjiang_WiFi”). No password is usually needed to join.
-
Trigger the portal: Open any web browser and try loading a site (e.g., google.com or baidu.com). You’ll be automatically redirected to the Jinjiang portal page (it might take a few seconds; if not, manually type
http://172.16.16.1orhttp://portal.jinjianghotels.com.cnin the address bar). The page is in Chinese, but you can use Google Translate or similar for help. - Choose authentication method: The portal offers a few options, like:
- SMS verification (短信验证—simplest for most guests).
- Social login (e.g., Weibo, QQ).
- Sometimes a one-click option if you’re a registered Jinjiang member.
- SMS login specifics:
- Select the SMS option.
- Enter your mobile phone number (Chinese numbers start with +86; international numbers like +1 for US should work but may incur roaming fees for the SMS).
- Click “Send code” (发送验证码). You’ll receive a 4-6 digit code via text from the hotel’s system (usually instant, from a shortcode like 106XXXX).
- Input the code on the portal.
- Click “Confirm” or “Connect” (立即连接). If valid, you’ll get full internet access for 24 hours (or until check-out).
Tips & Troubleshooting:
- No redirect? Forget the network, reconnect, and clear your browser cache/cookies. On mobile, toggle airplane mode briefly.
- Code not arriving? Check signal (hotel WiFi is separate from mobile data), wait 60 seconds for retry, or ask front desk for help—they often have a shared code.
- Foreign number issues? It works for most international carriers, but if blocked, try social login or request a room voucher from staff.
- Speed/Security: Expect decent speeds post-login, but it’s public—avoid sensitive logins without VPN. No major scam reports for this portal.
If you’re stuck on-site, front desk staff can demo it (bring your phone). For more visuals, search “锦江酒店 WiFi 登录” on Douyin (Chinese TikTok) for quick videos.
