OBiWiFi with a WiFi hotspot

(1/2) > >>

Namitha:
Hi,

I would like to know if the OBiWiFi adapter works with a hotspot which requires that you open a web page to login and connect to an internet. For e.g. an optimum or comcast wifi hotspot. We could simply connect to these hotspots but in order to get connected to internet, you need to open a webpage and login to your optimum/xfinity account to connect to internet.

Is this possible with OBiWiFi adapter? If yes, then how do we set-up that?

Thanks & Regards,
Namitha

No, it won't work.  The OBi device interface doesn't have the ability to display a captive portal login webpage.

Hi
i was wondering if this set would work with optimum wifi which has an option to allow you to set up specific mac addresses to automatically connect to optimum wifi without having to log on and enter any passwords.
does the dongle have a separate mac address or would i use the obi200 mac address
thanks

drgeoff:
The Wi-Fi dongle has its own MAC address.

ymcp:
thanks
if that is the case i don't see why it shouldn't work
or are you required to go thru the setup which in that case i'm not sure any more
