xbox one live hotel network WiFi connection

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

I found a solution for those in need, but it requires you to purchase a travel router.

1.) Purchase a travel router that supports WISP.

2.) Connect to the travel routers web interface using a computer, tablet, or phone (via Ethernet or Wifi).

3.) Using the web interface, connect to the hotel internet servicing using WISP mode.

4.) Try going to a webpage and you should be directed to the hotel's Wifi gateway.

5.) Enter your room or other info and get connected to the Wifi service.

6.) Either plug the Xbox One S into the travel router using Ethernet or connect to it's Wifi network.

You should now be on Xbox live using the hotel internet (assuming they do not have it blocked).

Try forget your hotel's WiFi on your phone, and retry the connection to your hotel's WiFi.

Make sure you have your console's power mode set to Energy-saving power mode and turn it off completely.

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!

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.
