How to Connect to Hotel WiFi on Any Device in 4 Steps

Access Wireless Internet in a Hotel on All Your Devices

Many people find it hard to connect to the WiFi Internet connection in hotels. This usually happens with devices that are not computers, nor smartphones. We’re talking here mostly about streaming media players (Chromecast, Roku), gaming consoles (Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation) and e-readers (Kindle, etc.).

The main reason why it’s harder on such devices is that almost all hotels nowadays use a WiFi sign in page. On those pages you either need to acknowledge the terms and conditions and click a button or enter your credentials to log in. By the way – this is also the case at coffee shops, airports and really any public place.

So – how to connect to hotel WiFi easy on all your devices? Read below and find out!

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.
