> when you connect to a Box via Wi-Fi your phone demands to connect to Internet hosts

I don't follow: When my phone connects to a wlan, it will try to connect to the Internet, and if the phone can't do that then the phone won't function on the wlan?

> The only solution I am aware of is to pre-inform users of a local IP address to browse to once their Wi-Fi is connected to the Box.

What is the response from this local IP address that solves the problem above?
