Playing downloaded nba2k19 on hotel wifi network

El Porkulus · Oct 23, 2018

I downloaded this game on my home wifi network. I tried to play on another wifi network and it wouldn't let me because it was not the account that I downloaded the game on. I am going on a trip soon and would like to play nba2k19 on my xbox there. How
do I make it work?

Cant believe I payed 600 for this crap!!

Here is how I connect my console to a hotel network:

Find your mobile phone's wireless MAC address (should be hidden away in the network settings or info)

Copy this address into the advanced network settings of the Xbox One

Using your phone, log into the hotel phone's wi-fi, once you are connected, try connecting on your Xbox One again.

Fingers crossed you should be able to trick the Hotel WiFi into thinking your console is actually the phone.

as soon as something starts to happen, turn the wifi off on your phone.If that doesn't work, try logging in on your phone, turning off the wifi then quickly turning on your xbox and connecting to the hotel WIFI.

Hopefully that works for you

Can't play any online games, connected to xbox live though.

J Dub, no, you can get travel routers that support multiple modes, including bridge mode. This connects to the hotel's wifi then creates its own wifi on with an SSID and settings you specify.

I am very surprised you are getting open NAT in a hotel. Either the hotel has a fairly simple wifi network and working UPnP, or it is being erroneously reported as open.

if the same account that bought the game logs in, it should work.

Hello there,

Denis is correct there, the game should launch if you are using the account that bought the game. In addition to that, you can set up the

Home Xbox settings to be able to play this game on any account on your Xbox. Let us know if you require any other info.

Hope this helps!

Hello SeanSpear,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your console is not able to connect to the hotel's network due to an authentication error message. There are some hotels that require you to use a web browser before you can connect to the
network. The web browser will take you to a website for the hotel that has you authenticate the device before it connects. Did you have to open a web browser on your cell phone before it connected to the hotel's WiFi? We suggest reaching out to the hotel's
staff in order to discover if there is additional authentication that is needed for your devices to connect to the network. Be sure to let us know the results!
