Tried to use ATV on hotel wifi

[danpass]

and was met with a tremendous roadblock.

for those unfamiliar with hotel wifi, and public wifi in general, there is a lawyer page in between the device and the wifi.

getting onto the network is easy, then a page pops up to accept terms/whatever, then you get through.

the problem with the ATV is that it doesn't have a "display" that will allow you to accept terms.

So how do you use an ATV on that sort of wifi?

I spent an hour on the net (with my laptop) trying to find a solution but came up empty.

No idea. Personal hotspot?

 

[D.T.]

Ethernet (cable) connection
Spoof MAC address of ATV on computer, authenticate, revert
Call networking support, supply MAC address/IP, let them auth you
Setup computer as AP, though at that point, just connect it to the TV vs. the ATV (kind of the same goes for the 2nd option above, if you already have a computer - though you might want to use both I suppose ...)

most results involved this (insane) solution.

one result mentioned using an Airport Express but fewer and fewer places have an option for a wired connection (to then create a local wifi hotspot)

One of my coworkers had the same issue with his and he ended up using his phone as a hotspot.
