Re: Hotel Wi-Fi

Without knowing the specifics of each implementation, I would venture you are identified by your WiFi card's MAC address.

I recall that years ago I was in a hotel that charged by the day and you were given a scratch off card. It worked for my WiFi connection, but I need a new card for my wired connection – a give away that it was MAC related.

I run a Captive Portal that authenticates with an ID & password administered by our group. I can also allow a pass-through based on any machine’s MAC address.
