Hi i am at a hotel and in order to connect to the wifi and use the internet you have to click agree on a webpage but that webpage does not popup on the apple tv so how can i connect to it?
The answer is YES!
There are two main things you have to know:
1. What is the MAC address of the Apple TV that you own. Though pronounced the same as Mac, it refers to an industry standard of identinfying a specific device. It stands for Media Access Control.
2. Who is the provider that the hotel is using.
TO FIND THE MAC ADDRESS:
This can be done before you pack your Apple TV and leave your house.
1. Connect your Apple TV to the TV... turn both on... blah blah blah... Apple TV is displayed on the TV
2. Go to Settings > General > About
3. The MAC address is labeled as "Wi-Fi Address" in this situation (SEE PHOTO BELOW). It will be a set of 6 pairs of alphanumeric characters, each pair separated by a colon. For example... 00:11:22:cc:bb:aa (they'll look more random than this, but I didn't want to take a chance on posting someone's real MAC address)
4. Write down that address. This is NOT CASE SENSITIVE.
THE HOTEL'S SERVICE PROVIDER
The service provider's information will typicaly be right in the hotel room because there is no reason for hotel staff to have to troubleshoot this stuff for us.
1. Call the support number and follow their prompts to get to a support agent.
2. Say, "Hello! I have an Apple TV, and I understand I can connect to your service by registering the MAC address with your service."
3. They will ask you several questions to verify that you are staying at one of the hotels they service.
4. Follow their instructions for registering the MAC address
5. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi, and select the hotel's Wi-Fi.
6. Voila! CONNECTED and Ready to Go!!!
unfortunatelly you cannot.
Totally worked! Thanks for the awesome tip (the Mickster)!
Thanks a lot!! Worked for me too!
Glad I could help!
Thank you, Mickster! Staying at a Country Inn & Suites, called their tech support, had it all set in 5 minutes. Easy breezy, just like you ssaid.
Thank you Mickster...this worked like a charm. Took two minutes.
Thank you for the wonderful info. Do you know if this will work for an X-Box too?
Never mind. Thank you. There is a wired connection available that ones not require authentication. :-)
Worked great!
I tried several hacks but the tech suooprt at the Doubletree took care of it with just the phone call.
Thanks TheMickster!
Worked like a charm! Thanks!!!
Is there a way to do this at a marina where in addition to checking a box in the browser, you have a user name and password? Unfortunately Apple TV doesn't have a browser so I can't figure this out.
It worked thanks!! You have made my next month in this hotel much more comfortable!!
Haha... glad this helps, Drjbenner! Sorry you have to spend a month in a hotel!!!
At a sandals resort for my honeymoon. Me and the wife are tv junkies. This worked EASILY! Thanks for the post.
Glad to hear!
Congrats on the marriage!
