Connect Your Xbox One to Hotel Wireless Internet when Browser Login is Required
The biggest limitation and time consuming activity with any gaming console at a hotel, be it the Xbox One, PS4 or Nintendo Switch, is that you have to set it up with every new wireless connection. This is especially troublesome when the hotel WiFi requires using a username and password through a browser login. If you are frequently on the go, this can make the Xbox One console almost too much trouble to bother with.
However, Connectify has the perfect solution to save time and be hassle free. Keep reading and see how to connect Xbox One to hotel WiFi only once so it will work with every other hotel wireless network.
Travel Wi-Fi
One hotel login, all your devices, through Connectify Hotspot
Hotel Wi-Fi usually wants a room number and a surname typed into a browser page, once per device. Connectify Hotspot lets one Windows laptop do that sign-in and then carry everything else you travelled with.
-
The sign-in page
Hotel networks hold new devices at a browser login page until someone fills in the form.
-
Devices that cannot sign in
A Kindle, a smart speaker, a handheld console has no browser to show the login page, so the device never gets past the form.
-
One gateway instead
Your Windows laptop signs in once and becomes the gateway for the rest. Everything else joins the laptop and skips the form entirely.
A hotel stay lasts longer than one session, so the 60-minute limit in the free version means restarting the hotspot through the evening. PRO removes the limit.
Available for Windows 10 and 11
