I use a BR1 Pro 5G when travelling. All of my devices (wired and wireless) Connect to its wifi and then I set it’s wifi wan to access the hotel wifi.
This works well, and I can failover to 5G on the BR1 when hotel wifi is bad also.
Question: When connecting to the wireless network of the company/hotel, does this lead you and is there an option to redirect the web page of the wireless network where I can enter the SMS code
And then it’s actually saved on the router and I can share the network to my other computers
And another question, can I have it converted to an RG45 cable?
And there is also a DHCP server that will provide me with addresses for the other computers

Yes. What happens is you go to the web interface of the router, connect its wifi wan to the hotel wifi (disable health check too) and set the wifi wan as the only active internet link.
Then you connect your laptop or phone to the BR1 (wifi or plug into the LAN port) and when you try and access the internet you will get the hotel’s captive portal page. Depending on the hotel sometimes this asks for a token, or room number and password or your phone number for sms - whatever. You login and the hotel wifi network whitelists the wifi wan interface of the BR1 then for internet access.
Then all your own devices can sit behind the BR1 on wifi or RJ45 wired LAN (the BR1 provides DHCP) and use the authorised / approved internet access.
You can even use SpeedFusion Protect to bond the hotel wifi and the 5G connection in the BR1 if you want for enhanced internet access.
Wow, wonderful, thank you very much, you helped me a lot
- Is it possible to get a link to buy the product?
I don’t need a SIM modem option
I saw that your product costs almost a thousand dollars
I only need a simple router that had the option of connecting to a wireless network via SMS
and sharing
Will this product do the job?
Peplink Pepwave Surf On-The-Go Wi-Fi Router

Is there a cheap model that will do the job?
Wireless network only
That is end of life.
Peplink sell enterprise grade routers that are very easy to use and manage and very reliable. They are also easy to support remotely so you can get help from your reseller when you need it. It also has all of us on here giving our support for free to the community.
Sounds like you don’t want that.
If you want a dirt cheap wireless router pick up a GL.iNet GL-MT1300 for less than 100USD I haven’t used it, but it was designed to do what you are asking and includes VPN privacy features.
Hope it all works out for you.
Sorry to ask again because it’s important to me t**he functionality that enables**
Connecting to the hotel wifi network with SMS and sharing my network with other computers
It also exists there in GL.iNet GL-MT1300 ?
Or only in the expensive models ?

I have never used it. But the video intro suggests it will do what you want it to: GL-MT1300 / Beryl - GL.iNet
How do you get past the captive portals? I have tried disabling the health check as suggested but it still doesn’t pop up
Sadly this doesn’t work for me. It just doesn’t pop up despite disabling health check. Did you have any other tips? thanks!
I have seen this with some captive portals…
Can you try going to the website for the hotel via “http://www.hotel.com” or http://fakedomain.com. Something that you would have never been to before.
The issue I have seen is that the captive portal is trying to redirect your browser from https://www.google.com or where ever you go by default but you have an HSTS directive for almost all modern domains so the browser will not accept the security downgrade to http://
to debug this I would check where the DNS resolves to:
dig www.google.com
and I would check the result of a command line CURL:
IF there is a captive portal you should get a 302 redirect to some webpage… Cut and paste that URL into your browser and finish the portal login.
You might also have to set an outbound policy to force all of the traffic from your IP address out the WAN (which will ignore the health checks).
