using Hotel-WLAN with more than 1 devices with Trek PR2000
Hello, i am in a holiday resort where we have WIFI access included. But it is limited to only one device. The WIFI itself is open, but you can only reach a login page. I think this is pretty standar...
Well, as it is not working with the TREK PR2000 Router, which is very dissapointing,
i have connected my Laptop with the Hotel-WLAN an then installed "Virtual Router Manager" as freeware on it. Within minutes i had setup my local WLAN and was possible to connect all my Family Smartphones and Tablets with this virtual WLAN. So we all could share this single WLAN-Access, which the Hotel had granted us. It is now working since a whole week with no hassle. Only backdrop is that the Laptop has to run all day and night.
So this is what i had expected from my Netgear TREK PR2000.
Is this Netgear Router capable of doing the same as this piece of software on any Laptop, or is it just a useless, overprice piece of plastic?
How do i have to setup this router for behaving the same as this combo (Laptop + virtual Router) ???
Are there any other suggestions based on a raspberry or so, doing the same, so i do not have to have the laptop running all time?
