Abstract

Systems and methods are described for connecting a user device to a wireless network despite the user device lacking the correct network credentials to access the wireless network. If the user device is unable to connect to a first network due to an incorrect network credential, the user device can automatically connect to a second network to obtain the correct network credentials associated with the first network. The network credentials associated with the first network can enable the user device to then connect and/or reconnect to the first network.
