Won't connect to hotel wifi
I'm having trouble connecting to hotel wifi. I'll connect, verify that I'm using hotel wifi, connect to the Roku with my phone which will have me login to the hotel wifi. The problem is it keeps looping back to checking the connection and won't let me actually login. It's very frustrating and I'm seriously considering dropping Roku altogether.
If you don’t get the message on the screen asking if you’re in a hotel or dorm, there’s no way you can trigger it manually. The hotel has to block all access to the Internet for the Roku to believe it’s on a hotel network. If the basics get through, you’re stuck unfortunately.
The way hotel/dorm mode works is it connects to the network but cannot reach the Internet, so it asked the question. You answer yes, and a screen appears with instructions to connect your phone or laptop to the Roku via WiFi. Each Roku has a specific WiFi name, so read the name on the screen, find it when browsing for WiFi on the phone or tablet, and connect with the password on the screen. The phone/laptop will then open a browser that allows you to authenticate to the hotel network. Once that’s done successfully, the Roku disconnects from your phone/laptop and reconnects to the hotel, this time with full access.
