A traveler encountered issues connecting retro gaming handhelds to in-flight Wi-Fi due to a login page requirement for Delta's free service. By utilizing his Android phone's personal hotspot feature, he successfully relayed the Wi-Fi without any browser, allowing him to connect his devices. This solution can be beneficial in many settings, such as hotels or cruises, where network restrictions apply. Setting up a personal hotspot transforms a phone into a mini-router, enabling broader access without additional costs for multiple device connections.
It turns out that Windows PCs, MacBooks, and many Android phones can share a local Wi-Fi connection this way. I wish I'd known about this earlier, because it can be useful in all kinds of scenarios.
To the network, it just looks like you're connecting one device, but in reality you're distributing it to your other devices as well.
