Hi all
I am wondering if the GL.iNet GL-MT300N will solve a problem I have. I am new to this so please excuse me if this is an obvious question.
I would like to use an Amazon Fire stick with Netflix on my hotel TV. My hotel wifi can be accessed without a password but has a captive portal login. I am able to log in on my phone and in fact I am also able to log in to the captive portal on the Fire stick directly. However the Fire Stick does not get an active Internet connection even after login, although my phone does.
I was wondering if I could use the GL to solve this problem, by connecting it to the hotel public wifi and rebroadcasting the signal. If I were to connect my phone and Fire stick to the GL’s rebroadcasted network, then log in to the captive portal on my phone, would the Fire stick also be able to use the Internet through the GL? Or does it not work that way?
Has anyone else successfully done something similar? Are there any disadvantages to this approach or any other way to accomplish getting the Fire Stick online using the hotel’s wifi?
