The short answer is yes; our devices will absolutely work on captive portal networks! You just need to take an extra step.
What is a Captive Portal Network?
For those who don't know, a captive portal network is a Wi-Fi network that launches a webpage that you need to sign into with a username and password. These networks are common in hotels and airports and sometimes found in corporate environments.
How to Connect:
A lot of consumer devices like the XOGO Mini (and Apple TV, Nest thermostat, etc.) do not have the ability to launch a web browser and display this portal; however, they will still work. You just need to contact the network administrator and ask them to white-list the MAC address of your device (they will know what this means!).
Tip: If you are using a XOGO Mini, the MAC address for your device is displayed on the initial PIN code screen.
