    Hi,

    have you asked the people from the hotel if and how it's possible to play with your Xbox there ?

    If that doesn't work you might use your smartphone as mobile hotspot. In this case I would recommend you to turn off 'Auto update' in the settings.

    Issue with Authenticate Now option

    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!

    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

    XBox One February Update - Multiplayer Bug with Alternative MAC Address

    I ran into this bug over the weekend trying to connect X1 over WIFI at hotel since you need to spoof the MAC address of the computer that registers with the hotel. Everything on the system itself connects fine but no multiplayer games work. Fortunately,
    I had an ethernet cable that I was able to use and once I switched over to wired everything worked great. I assumed the hotel was blacking over wifi until I did some searching on the Internet.

    Being an infrastructure IT guy I was perplexed by the problem so I started digging into it which I deduced it to the alternative MAC address as well.

    - wifi with alternative MAC does not work in games but system is ok

    - ethernet with alternative MAC works

    So what I did was spoof the xb1 MAC address from my laptop and registered it with the hotel which worked.

    Alternate MAC Address problem with hotel wifi

    this is still an issue.

    The only work around, and it's not much of one, that I've discovered is to temporarily connect to shared wifi on laptop or phone, launch IE on xbox, disconnect from wireless and connect to hotel wireless, and open up IE quickly and authenticate.

    I used to be able to authenticate via hotel wireless on my laptop/phone then hard wire in by using mac address spoofing, but as others have pointed out, Microsoft has broken it and it doesn't appear they are going to fix it anytime soon.

    In fact xbox support is absolutely lost when I describe to them what is broken. They just offer workarounds, no acknowledgement that something is actually broken.
