Does it allow you to enter username/password on the captive portal of paid hotel wifi networks? It's not described anywhere.

The new models are supposed to have this already set, but since I had one of the first ones, I had to download the firmware to be able to enter the login information to get the HooToo to work on hotel networks.

Yes, the first time you use your browser it will prompt you for any needed login info.

Yes it works well at hotels. All you do is open the app and use it to access the network. I love this device. Wouldn't travel without it.

Yes. After setting it up so that you can connect to it via wifi do the following: 1. Turn it on. 2. Connect your computer or Tablet or smart phone to it. 3. Go to the Elite's page usually 10.10.10.254 and then Network, then Internet and search for the hotel wifi connection you want to connect to. 4. Then choose it and save it. 5. Then open another tab in your browser and go to say google.com and the hotel's sign-in/click thru page will appear. 6. Login as you would otherwise. 7. Connect your other devices to the Hootoo and you are good to go.Note: If it reverts back to 10.10.10.254 then you need to get the firmware swapped out for the one that is designed for connecting to hotels.

You enter WiFi & password info by way of the dial on the front. It is very easy and intuitive.

Not that ignorant Julie. Belkin has told me to change both the name and password for my wifi network. I tried just changing password originally but that didn't work. They said my computer may have saved the old name and password and to delete the network before changing all of this then to try again. We will see.......

It should be simple. The utility helps you set it up for users that don't know how to navigate the router directly. I would not recommend to enable the guest account /login. That part can be confusing and difficult for guest users.

Hi Min. The password is on the back under the 3rd bar code. Wireless password/pin: and you password is there. Its small lettering. Good luck. Juli

I do believe you can go into the settings and set it up manually. I did mine with the button on my modem. It finds it automatically and all I had to do was put my network password in.

I entered my server inscription code and it worked fine. I remember at a point the installation program said that it couldn't find the Linksys devise. I was already seeing a strong wireless signal and decided not to sweat the small stuff. I didn't see a window prompting me to enter a password. Cisco/Linksys has a help line. Sorry I can't be of further help.

Only if you are going to be somewhere that will give you their wifi password because it is an extension. For example: you connect at home and you have NetGear 528 - when you set up the range extender it will create NetGear 528-ext I don't think a motel or resort will give you their wifi network password for you to set it up. If its a private home probably would be just ine, unless thy re like ome of my I laws, they don't even know their pass codes ! LOL. Hope this helps

Yes you can just go into settings and click on WiFi then your network and input your password and it should work fine

have you put in the ssid and password from your internet device i.e. router, jetpack?info is located on device. i setup my neice's with a comcast router.

I asked the question and was told NO ... since you do not have access to the master password of the router that is providing the signal in the hotel.

No, no password required. Might be possible to do this, I don't remember if this option was given, but you don't have to.

I just got back from a trip where I used the D-Link router occasionally. I did have some difficulty with using various hotel portals on my cell phone, both with and without the D-Link router. But I was able to get the D-Link to work. In one case, I first used the Hotel WiFi without the D-Link. Then when I connected my cell to the D-Link and selected either the hotel WiFi or the Hotel Ethernet as the internet connection for the D-Link, it worked. (The D-Link provided a better connection in this case than using my cell phone directly.) It might have been possible to connect the D-Link to the hotel portal FIRST and then launch a web browser on the phone (connected to the D-Link) to enter the room number, etc., but I did not try that (at least I do not remember it that way). The advantage to using the D-Link is minimal, unless the hotel (a) only provides Ethernet, (b) has weak WiFi, or (c) allows only one device and you want to use more.

frankly, I do not know. I returned the item because I the factory provided wifi password never worked. I wrote to the customer service twice about the issue and waited for a week before returning the item. It's been almost a month now- still got no response... not that it matters anymore.

It will only require your password if it is a locked network. You may want to check out your router to see if that is secured.

You will see the login page when you connect to the local (asus-generated) wifi AP and try and access an internet page. Then, you log in and *all* the devices connected to the Asus will have access to the internet without login. Essentially, the hotel only sees one client - the Asus - it's just that client is sharing its access with everyone else.
