I used Ubuntu, booted to a Live USB, unplugged the Xbox One, changed the MAC of my laptop to match what the XBOX One's MAC is, got online with the laptop, then powered off the laptop and the Xbox One works. And unfortunately because Windows Vista and later restricted MAC spoofing to beginning with specific characters, you have to use another OS to do it. You need to make your Laptop MAC address spoof what your Xbox One's MAC address is. There are a number of reports of this online.īasically the only real workaround for this, if the hotel can't fix your problem, is what I did last week. One of the latest Xbox One updates broke the Alternate MAC address functionality. However if these don't work, like the other gentleman said, but an old notebook and bridge the wifi connection to ethernet. a wifi connection, or a router that can accept a wifi signal then send out that signal that is compatible with your X1. Maybe look into buying a router to bring with you. Also, they have a button that will automatically take you to current router's homepage: maybe it'll be admin admin, maybe it'll have instructions, etc.
Use an app like 'IP Tools' for android to help you find any additional information you may need to properly connect. If my hotel has one it's either by the phone or behind the tv. Is there an ethernet port in the room? :P If so buy an ethernet cable. So I narrowed it down to three stupid ideas: Just got done reading everyone's replies which dwindles down things a lot. Alternate Mac address option on the Xbox settings also doesn't work when trying to connect to a multiplayer game. Also, xbox IE will not take me to the login page without a valid wifi connection, which can't be established without going to the login page. Inevitably people will say, contact customer service and the front desk, I tried, I got a lot of blank stares.
Now I'm in a hotel where the login page has no field for Mac or IP address, and I'm stumped. I then agree to terms and conditions and viola, it works! You can't imagine my sense of pride the first time I tried this. In the past, I've overcome this by using my tablet, pulling up the login page, editing the url and replacing my tablet's Mac address and IP with that of my Xbox.
The major problem is, xbox live will not allow me to get past the hotel wifis initial login page. I spend a lot of time in hotels as part of my profession.
