Here is a screen shot from my Note 5. I am trying to connect to Starbucks Google WiFi. It states I am connected but when I do a search I get the connection error.

Seen something similar before with Chrome and certain public WiFi networks. Plenty of information in these threads about it: :thumbsupdroid:

So basically you either tell Chrome to ignore the invalid certificate, or you get Starbucks to fix their networks.

Hi,
So I uninstalled Chrome, reinstalled it and it works fine. Have no idea why that makes a difference. I also tried the default Note 5 browser and that worked fine but Chrome initially would not work and there was nowhere in Chrome on the Note 5 to tell it to ignore the invalid certificate.
