Hotel and dorm in an endless loop, shows connected, but is a lie

2 x rokus, both brand new both connected fine the first time they were connected to the hotel wireless using the hotel & dorm option. However now that both of them were disconnected for a period of time, neither of them will connect again. They are both in this endless loop when setting up the wireless connection. They first go to "i am at a hotel or college dorm" screen, so i select that, then a screen flashes up for a few seconds with the temporary wireless information to help authentication for the hotel's proxy access. Once that screen flashes up and goes away it shows connected, but you can't access anything on the internet because it's not getting through the proxy at the hotel. This appears to be a long known issue with Roku, and Roku apparently doesn't do anything like a manual process to implement re-authentication for the hotel's proxy. I've tried resetting the network, no dice....tried factory reset, same thing.. all with restarts of the roku in between. All end up with same repeated endless loop with no change or access to internet. These are pretty much paper weights for hotel use.
