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.

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!
