Can I use it to extend public wifi which possesses a login page?

Yes. I bought this to extend a wifi signal that has a login page to gain access.

I do not believe so, but the initial log in process to set your SSID is very straightforward, and only requires an ethermet RJ45 connection. It is a stable and very easy to use repeater, better than some others because it repeats your exact SSID, not a version of it.

There is no need to use public wifi because the device is sharing it's own wifi which can be protected by password.

You have to be able to grab an open wifi or have someone that you can get their password to hit their wifi

Yes, you can. I am currently using 3 in different locations. You can either use them as individual access points, (names), or just your current SSID. Hope this helps.

Well I'm not there so it's hard to make a relatable assessment, but my guess would be to connect to your router with your password then access the www.routerlogin.net web page. Click on the internet tab then select the hotspot you wish to connect to. Then hopefully that webpage will pop up when you open a browser and you can go from there using the info the hotel gave you I guess. By the way if you're able to make it to the page I just described, which may not be the case, I would highly recommend disabling the "Extend my current wireless router's range" option as that would make all of your devices connected to the router visible to the rest of the unsecured network.

The Engenius EAP9550 is an access point or repeater device that allows the user to extend the range of the WiFi signal from the main router. So the answer is yes if you are using any wireless router (in router mode only) to extend the range of your WiFi signal from the main router.Also the device used to extend the WiFi signal must be physically attached to the main router.

It should be simple. The utility helps you set it up for users that don't know how to navigate the router directly. I would not recommend to enable the guest account /login. That part can be confusing and difficult for guest users.

As long as you have the proper driver for the N900 installed on the computer it is plugged into, it should be able to access any public network. Passphrases/keys are more so a security setting on the router end of the network and does not effect the function of the wireless adapter.

Yes, you can. This little router can give internet access to any wifi enabled device.

I would say no, you need to plug it in close to the router at first plus you need the security password to the router.

Yes, you can expand your current network using the same SSID. This device perfirms rather well doing.

Yes. Here are the steps in the correct order to do this with the stock firmware. As other have said, internet access may take a while after setup is complete. 1) Plug in the router and turn on the wifi (there is a button on the router for this) 2) Connect to the the network being broadcast from the TP-link router (The password is on the bottom of the router) 3) Open a browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar 4) Click on DHCP and disable it, then click "save" at the bottom 5) If you have more than one of these routers or your main routers IP address is 192.168.0.1, click on Network then LAN and change the IP address of the router to some different IP like 192.168.2 click save, reconnect to the TP-Link network and log back into the router by using the new IP address. 6) Click on Wireless then Security and change the password for the TP-link network to the same password as the network you are trying to extend. Click save, reconnect to the network with the new password and log in to the router again. 7) Click wireless again. 8) Change the SSID to the same SSID as the network you want to extend. 9) Click the Check box next to "enable WDS bridging" 10) Click on "survey" then select the network you want to extend 11) enter the password for that network toward the bottom of the page 12) Click save 13) click OK or agree to the error that will popup about the channel being set to auto. Agreeing to this will let the router set the channel to whatever channel the main router is using. 14) The router should disconnect you and you should reconnect to the network you wanted to extend but with better signal strength. It might take a minute for internet access or you might have to restart your laptop and other devices. This was from memory so it should be close but might not be perfect. The order of the steps does matter and is different than TP-Links FAQ answer.

The product can extend the Wi-Fi to the outside. The product would not stand being placed outdoors.

Probably can,but if you google the company their tech support is great. its wifi in and out, it also has an Ethernet port and usb port. So i imagine you turn wifi on your phone and login to ip address.
