Does the XOGO Mini work with captive portal networks?
print icon

The short answer is yes, our devices will absolutely work on captive portal networks! You just need to take an extra step. For those who don’t know, a captive portal network is a WiFi 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. 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 him/her 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.
