How to connect to the Internet on a unsecured hostpot with tokennumber and password

By looking at manual, I don't think it support the portal access base.

That's right: I can not find information about this kind of internet connection in the manual and not in configuration screen of the PR2000 itself. But the netgear announcement of this product says: "... With Trek N300 PR2000, you no longer pay multiple access fees for each device at hotels and cafes...". If I hvae to pay for an internet connection in a hotel then I get a voucher with my token and my password. I expect, that using PR2000 i can connect my 3 mobile devices via the PR2000 to one single paid internet connection. This seens to be *not* fullfilled.

I don't own one so I can't really tell how it work. I have Guest with portal page on my AP so I can test if I had one....

I would say you need to clarify with support directly on this via portal my.netgear.com

There isn't active thread on this model so probably you should ask support

Just a suggestion...

Connect your laptop to the PR2000, connect the PR2000 to the WiFi hotspot, open the hotspot login page, enter the credentials provided, and then connect the other devices - the hotel's proxy server should associate the credentials with the PR2000's MAC address and allow all connections from that address.

Having said that - it's been at least a decade since I've been in a hotel that didn't have free WiFi.

Thank you fordem. Unfortunately now i am back from my 5 days trip with hotel stays. I can try your suggestion not immediately now...

Hello,

can anybody provide howto guide for this connection scenario?

Hi I used the PR2000, with Optimum online hotspot and they require you to validate yourself with your user name and ID each time I connected / logged in.

I think if you set PR200 the same way I did it might work for you in the scenario mentioned above, but you will still have to log in through the Hotel, once the first time or after your connection times out.

I set up PR2000 to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot as an extender, but left the "extend my current wireless router's range " section UNCHECKED, to keep my devices behind PR2000's firewall & isolate them from the Public Optimum Wi-Fi.
I got the prompt to log-in when I opened my browser, but once one of my PC goes through this log-in page to get online, other PC and smartphones connected to the PR2000 are not asked for same.

I believe their hotspot/router only sees the MAC address of the PR2000, because the Optimum hotspot provider actually allowed me to register the PR2000 device to my account (they allow five) and subsequently they just allowed me to go online without the prompt for user ID and Password whenever I connect my devices via the PR2000 to any of their hotspots.

I hope this helps :).

I've been using the PR2000 for two weeks in a variety of hotels and corporate guest networks. It has been fairly straightforward to connect the PR2000 to wireless networks in hotels.

The corporate guest networks have been a bit more problematic. When connecting directly from the wireless on my laptop, the wireless connects quickly and my first web access is redirected to a login web page, I supply the appropriate credentials (including a password that changes daily) and I'm good to go.

The PR2000 claims that it takes up to 2 minutes to connect. In many cases, it does not detect that it is connected, or it does not detect that there is an additional login web page. When this happens, the PR2000 intercepts all network requests.

When the PR2000 is attempting to connect, I've not been able to consistently get to the internal management to see more details.

I think, but an not absolutely positive, that the corporate wireless network uses Cisco networking equipment.
