They will not connect with a captive portal type network that requires an additional username and password to be entered.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P>Cathal</P> Wed, 16 Feb 2022 08:51:04 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Trouble-accessing-the-internet-Common-in-hotels-and-dorm-rooms/m-p/106728#M11079 Cathal_S 2022-02-16T08:51:04Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Trouble-accessing-the-internet-Common-in-hotels-and-dorm-rooms/m-p/106903#M11092 <P>To add some more to Cathal's response...</P> <P>As you've discovered, Chromecast doesn't support 2-step (also called "captive portal") logins like that where you connect and then have to go to a web-page to finish authorization.<BR /><BR />If you do a google search for "use Chromecast in hotels" you'll find how people have worked around this using phone hotspots and (my preference) travel routers.<BR /><BR />Keep in mind that neither solution is officially supported and most shared networks like that are grossly overloaded so streaming may not be a smooth experience.<BR /><BR />Also, you don't really WANT to get connected to a big shared network like that. If you did, your Chromecast would be visible to everyone else on the network and they could cast to it at any time. Using a travel router makes a private network of your own and then nobody else will be able to see your Chromecast or cast to it.</P> Wed, 16 Feb 2022 17:19:01 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Trouble-accessing-the-internet-Common-in-hotels-and-dorm-rooms/m-p/106903#M11092 Byteguy 2022-02-16T17:19:01Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Trouble-accessing-the-internet-Common-in-hotels-and-dorm-rooms/m-p/133322#M13934 <P>Hey A2013,</P> <P><BR />I wanted&nbsp;to check in and see if you had any questions from here.
