We need to get the hotspot to authenticate automatically, bypassing the sign in page. Normally, in order to use TWC/Xfinity/Optimum/Cable Wifi you need to REGISTER (Authenticate) your device by logging in. This worked extremely well for me, I got faster speeds than at home so I canceled my cable!!! Posted: Fri 17:57 Post subject: Re: This worked extremely well. In other words, as soon as the packets leave the universal wireless repeater towards the unsecured public hotspot, unless VPN/secure protocol is used for all connections, there's no more security, i.e., it's the same as when the wireless clients are directly connected to the unusecured public hotspot.Īre all the connections done through VPN, BradfordGiosa? Or was that not a concern as long as the private network is secure (for internal data exchange)?
If I understand the configuration described correctly, unless secure protocols (like HTTPS) is used, encryption only happens between the wireless clients (computers/phablets/etc.) and the universal wireless repeater (WRT54G V6 in BradfordGiosa's case). I'm trying to understand the benefits of the "secure private network". I used one antenna to receive the public hotspot connection and the other to re-broadcast a new, private SSID, into the house. I would utilize one to pick up the public hotspot and the other would be used to broadcast a secure private network to the house for only our devices to connect.
