YES! It works to share hotel WiFi...
YES! It works to share hotel WiFi...
Primarily Marriott for me but has worked in Hilton properties as well (that I have tested). It literally couldnt be simpler. Set the switch on the side to the middle option (Share Hotspot). Power it up. Logon, go through the wizard. For ISP garbage just select "Dynamic" no user/pass, continue. Then "share wifi" then scan for wifi networks. Connect to the hotel wifi. At this stage you will most likely see about a dozen hotel wifi's with the same SSID. They are ordered from strongest signal to weakest, choose one near the top WITHOUT the password requirement (choose the open one). At that point it will connect, then prompt you to enter SSID for both the 2.4 & the 5.0 G networks. Name your wifi then hit next. It will prompt to reboot. Give it a solid 3 minutes. Connect to one of the two SSID (generally the 5.0 band has higher bandwidth). Open the browser on the connected device and go to a NON httpS URL to force the redirect to the captivate portal logon page. Logon. Connect Multiple Devices to your router... Profit!
