Chromecast setup to Free BT wifi open network

[Gadgetmangolfin]

Is it possible to connect to an open free BT Wifi network with the Chromecast? Normally, when connecting to this type of network there will be a front end screen to accept conditions of the connection but not sure if this is possible during the Chromecast setup? Thanks

Hi Gadgetmangolfin,

A Chromecast can not connect to a captive portal network like you describe, sorry.

Other users have used a travel router in these situations, the travel router is connected to the captive portal and then used to create a private secure WiFi network that you can connect the Chromecast to.
