I have a TND 740, Im trying to update it via WiFi at both loves and Pilots who both require you to sign in via the webpage log in. The problem is when I connect to the WiFi, the browser window pops up but it's blank, just a white page..
How can I force it to open the log in page? I've tried at multiple truck stops and it simply goes to a white page and never lets me log in. I know the WiFi locations are fine as I use them on my laptop and tablet..
It used to work fine but just opens a white screen.. Any ideas how to get it to let me open the log in page?

I don’t think you can even update your iPhone at these truck stops. Open the App Store and then nothing, won’t download.
In other words, I think this download option is disabled by design. -
It's not the wifi I know that. It connects just fine to the wifi but the actual lig in screen won't load. It pops up and the little load bar starts loading then just a blank page. -

I have never touched one of these tablets, but i am familiar with how this sort of thing works.
If it is possible to clear the browser cache on the TND 740, do that. Simply going to any website should redirect you to the captive portal that you can sign in from. -
Basically they gimped the Android or to stop you from having acess like a tablet would. That way they can sell the other "tablet" model.. -
#1 Can you update the device via a laptop or PC that's connected? I always recommend updating ANY device by first downloading the full and verified file [to laptop or desktop] then updating locally via USB (if this is even a software option with/for the RM tablets) A failed download due to wifi issues can brick the device.
#2 At Pilot, you'll need the paid side of the wifi network. Their free side won't let you do any sort of updates or downloads or Youtube. If you don't have a subscription then you'll need to figure something out. I know you can force a login on the PFJ paid side by going to ip 10.3.0.1
I know nothing of Love's wificrocky Thanks this. -
Here is a video that walks through the procedure:
