Connect to a hotel with a captive portal via Ethernet and then rebroadcast the connection using my own wifi ssid?

I have the GL-SFT1200 (Opal). How do can I connect to a hotel with a captive portal via Ethernet and then rebroadcast the connection using my own wifi ssid?

If you’re connecting via Ethernet cable you may have to clone the MAC of whatever device you’re using to authenticate against the captive portal.

Make sure any DNS-related setting are turned off in the Opal until you’re successfully online; they sometimes interfere/override the portal setup.

Thanks for the info, I’ll try it.

If you have a problem, search here. There are a lot of posts.

Not sure where you are suggesting I search. Are you referring to this site?

Not sure what part of “here” was ambiguous, but yes, here on this site. I just searched and got more than 50 posts, and to my amusement one of mine from 2 years ago was the first one!!

But for fun I just googled “trigger captive portal” and got over 7 million hits, and the first one was pretty good.

Just read your post on Captive Portal Strategies. Some really good info.
