I've never tried to add an extender onto a network that requires a log in like that so i'm not sure if just adding an extender will work or not. What you could do though is to share your computer's internet with your other devices. This would also keep your other devices off the RV network so you're not going to get other people trying to use your printer.

To do this just log onto the internet as per usual, plug your N300 into your computer over ethernet, share your wireless internet connection with you LAN port though your internet sharing settings (google is your friend), connect your other devices to the N300 and voila. If your N300 is a modem/router, you will need to turn off the modem part of it, sometimes called bridge mode.
