Does the Hotel WiFi Require a Browser Login? Connect Your PS4 to Hotel WiFi Seamlessly
Whether at home, at the office or when traveling, everybody enjoys a good gaming session, whether it’s on a PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo console. But try and use it at your hotel. The biggest limitation and time consuming activity with the PS4 is that you have to set it up with every new WiFi connection – especially troublesome when the hotel WiFi requires a password through a browser login. If you are frequently on the go, this can make the PS4 console almost too much trouble to bother with.
However, Connectify has the perfect solution. Keep reading and see how to connect PS4 to hotel WiFi and save precious time each time you want to use it.
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
