Comment on Brought my Chromecast with Google TV to a Hotel, TV is framed.

You can call the hotel’s IT and get your MAC address whitelisted to avoid all that captive portal bullshit. Once you have one device whitelisted you can just have others spoof that MAC if you are able.

I have yet to call a hotel IT department that was competent enough to even know what a MAC address is. Last time I called one, the lady on the phone didn’t know the difference between megabytes and megabits.

  What hotels are you guys staying in that give guests the ability to contact their IT department at all?
  
  That sounds like insanity to me.

  I have yet to stay at a hotel that wasn’t able to get my streamer onto the network without a login page. 🤷

Doubtful many would have access to that without calling a different company.

And doing that would be a security risk regardless, if they just randomly whitelist devices… holy fucking shit, no wonder everything is getting “hacked”.

Mac filtering is slowly dwindling for newer technology that works better.
