How does it work repeating WiFi hotspots that require you to click through a webpage to get internet access (would love a video/screencast of this)?

I think your talking about WiFi networks that make you agree via a web site to their internet usage. I attached to a few both in the US and UK, seems once you attach to it via the HooToo, you then will get the originators WiFi network web page when you say try to get to Google. You then have to agree from your PC to the usage. It basically is extending the public WiFi to your HooToo. did this with my Comcast account as well as my account with TheCloud a free internet service in the UK. On both it did time out after some time and I had to agree again to the usage. I am not sure how it works with other click through agreed WiFi services.

It will work just fine. Connect the HooToo to the network, then connect a PC/tablet to the HooToo. Try to browse the internet, and click through the hotspot's login page. The paid/hotel hotspot will register the HooToo's MAC address, and all subsequent connections will be seen as coming from a single device (the HooToo).

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

Yes, you can do this (configure it as a wifi client and it can re-broadcast a local wifi network). However, as it's very small, the antennas aren't great - you would be much better off using a purpose-built wifi range extender

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

This is a Travel Router that when plugged into the internet service in the hotel room using an Ethernet cable, the router acts as a WIFI Hot Spot. If you have one or more laptops that has been configured to work with this router at home those laptops will work with this WIFI setup anywhere you can get internet connection. Some hotels only provide an Ethernet connection and if you have more than one device that needs to connect to the internet, then this router will create the WIFI hotspot.I hope this helps. ! ! !

This tablet can only be operated with internet when its connected via wifi, if is not connected with wifi, the internet will not work unless you have a hot spot near the tablet.

It's not a hot spot or a repeater. It' designed to give you wireless when theres only a network cable available .

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.

Dear Hmo,Thank you for asking.I'm sorry but TripMate will not work as a wifi repeater, it normally serves as an AP, regular router (Dynamic/Static IP/PPPoE) and bridge mode. If a WiFi repeater is needed, please search "HT-WR01" on Amazon product page.I hope you will find this helpful. We're happy to help if you need further assistance or have any questions. Thank you for your kind understanding.Best regards,HewittSunvalleytek Customer Care

How does everyone solve this I wonder! It's a real pain because wireless access points don't generally have a useable Ethernet connection. I ended up buying a devolo plug starter kit that sends the Internet around the house electric circuit. It was pricey (nearly £100 - am in uk) but it literally plugged in and worked.

Well I'm not there so it's hard to make a relatable assessment, but my guess would be to connect to your router with your password then access the www.routerlogin.net web page. Click on the internet tab then select the hotspot you wish to connect to. Then hopefully that webpage will pop up when you open a browser and you can go from there using the info the hotel gave you I guess. By the way if you're able to make it to the page I just described, which may not be the case, I would highly recommend disabling the "Extend my current wireless router's range" option as that would make all of your devices connected to the router visible to the rest of the unsecured network.

Probably Not - this device cannot be used a wi-fi adapter. I suppose you might able to create your own hot spot by enabling some internet sharing option but I was never to do this.

Hi Ryan,No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

No it doesn't repeat the wifi signal. It just gives you the 4 ethernet ports. Worked great for me for the first year, then died.

This is an access point only. It does not route or NAT. It needs to be behind a router/firewall of some kind. It only bridges wifi devices to an existing network.

If you mean whether or not you can connect to a hot spot (any hot spot) then the answer is yes. It just needs to be open or you need to have the password for it. Make sure airline mode is not on or anything that would prevent WIFI from working.
