In my office building, I go in and out of phone service. However, there is an open wifi connection and I can connect to it just fine. However, even though I'm not getting a phone signal yet connected to wifi, I still can't browse the web as I would expect to be able to. Should you be able to browse the web connected to a wifi router when you don't have a phone signal (thus no ATT data connection either)?

You should be able to browse the same on either a wi-fi signal or a mobile signal.

It depends how the router is configured.

do you have the passkey / passphrase / username / password. entered correctly?

The router may have a firewall enabled. or be set up only to allow certain devices to access the net, by the devices own MAC address

i think you'd be best talking to the person responsible for the network.
