alt Hacker NewsWonder how this will work to connect into hotel networks - on my glinet I have to clone my iPhone MAC address so I basically have to connect to the WiFi, do the with authentication enter room number and last name, then disconnect and boot up the router.
Is there a better way to get these connected to a WiFi for relaying where the Ethernet isn't an option?

This new Unifi device supports captive portal authentication flows, so you don't need to do that whole shuffle.

I have a gl.Inet and it's very rare that I have to do anything special to get on a captive portal. I just connect to the travel router AP, then connect the travel router to the hotel's WiFi, and browse neverssl.com to get the captive portal.
A $40 router with WiFi to WiFi bridge support like the TP-Link AC750. You connect the router to the captive network and you connect your phone to the router. Connect everything else to the router.
