My mother has a condo inside a hotel. She currently has her our own internet provider and router which is faster, more reliable and much easier to connect to then the hotels. She however no longer wishes to pay for internet. Well i guess pay for internet twice she is entitled to the hotels internet as well. To connect to the hotels internet you must enter you room number and last name in a splash page this expires after a few days. This can be bypassed by giving the hotels technical admin the MAC addresses of any devices that I wish to add, though this also expires after year.
I was hoping there was a way to create a network in the apartment that was separate from the hotels but used the hotels internet. I current have a router that has two wifi networks (2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, the D-Link DIR-857) in the apartment. Can I connect one to the hotel's network and provide that wifi's nic's MAC address to the hotel admin to bypass the splash screen. Then create a network with the other wifi network.
The purpose of this again would be to use the hotels internet but also have a private network where devices can easily and permanently be connected to the wifi i.e. AppleTV. And I also want to be able to share files. Just using the hotels network between devices provides inconsistent and slow file sharing. Im willing to purchase additional equipment to make this happen. Also I currently can't find an ethernet port to the hotels network which would remove the need for a second wifi network. And finally I dont know how much support I would get if I told the admin I was doing this, so I don't know how the hotels network is setup. I would rather the hotel not know about my setup. Thank you for any help.
