OBiWiFi with a WiFi hotspot
SteveInWA:
Describe exactly how you intend to use Optimum WiFi? Is this a fixed installation (at a home or office) and you won't be moving it from one hotspot to another? Or, are you thinking you can just take it to any WiFi hotspot around town, or ???
You can tell the WiFi access point the MAC address of the OBiWiFi, but all that does is tell the access point that IT can accept connections from that address (vs. some non-customer's address). You still need to setup the OBiWiFi adapter, via the OBi's menus, to know to connect to that access point. Think of this scenario: you're driving down a public highway, and you come to a junction. There is a toll road you want to take. You have a toll pass (transponder). The toll system knows that it can identify and let you drive on the toll road, but you still have to steer the car onto that road (tell it where to go).

Were you able to get the obiwifi to work with a hotspot? I am going to try this as well. Thanks.
