Connecting your Xbox 360 (any console) to hotel Wi-Fi.

This will possibly work for any console so long as you can manually change the MAC address of your console.


Most hotel or guest Wi-Fi systems that require you to log-in use your MAC address to give you a reservation. This should work if the Wi-Fi system uses this method.

We can work around it by giving your Xbox a MAC address that has already been allowed on the network.


I have done this at a few hotels without any problems.

1. Connect a computer or laptop to the network and go through the steps of setting it up. Most hotels have splash pages you have to click through to get internet access. Make sure you can browse the internet.

2. Get the MAC address of your computer (the adapter you are connected to the internet with). Probably your Wi-Fi adapter. If you don't know how just look it up. It's easy.

3. Change your MAC address on your Xbox to the one you got from your computer and connect to Wi-Fi.

NOTE: Be sure to either turn off your computer or disable your Wi-Fi adapter. You cannot have your computer and Xbox connected at the same time because your Xbox will be using your computers MAC address.

NOTE: This should even work with an Android or iPhone that has been connected to Wi-Fi. Same principle applies. Just get your phone working on WiFi and then get the MAC of your phone and give it to your Xbox. That way you can have either your Xbox and laptop connected to Wi-Fi or your Xbox and phone connected to Wi-Fi.

ANOTHER NOTE: Most Wi-Fi logins will expire. If so, just turn off your Xbox and connect your device with the spoofed MAC to the network, re-register and then turn your Xbox back on.

Let me know if you have any questions.
