[vox-tech] Sharing wi-fi in hotel with Chromecast

[John Reed]

I probably misunderstanding the problem. But, I don't think Chromecast and
the mobile device need to be on the same network anymore. For example, I
can see my neighbor's Chromecast and could have it play if I could see the
pin on the display. So, if you've got the Chromecast connected(because you
spoofed the MAC address and gotten a session), it should work.   If the
phone is getting blocked from Chromecast by AP isolation, then just turn
off the phone's Wifi and try again.

I am staying in a hotel with family.

We have the following devices:
Laptop running Linux Mint Mate 17.3
Chromecast
iPhone 4
Dell 7 Android tablet (Wi-Fi only)

We want to be able to stream Netflix and Hulu from one of the mobile
devices to the big TV in the room using Chromecast and one of the mobile
devices without tying up the laptop.  (The laptop frequently has to be used
for work while others are watching the movie.)

The problem is that the hotel's wi-fi is setup for AP isolation.  Devices
on the wi-fi can't talk to each other.

(I already got around the hotel login page by spoofing the Chromecast MAC
on the laptop).

I heard of a windows software called Connectify that lets you re-share your
wi-fi connection over the same adapter.  Unfortunately, I was not able to
get it to run on Wine.

Googling found some articles on setting up the laptop as a wi-fi hotspot
but they all assume you have two adapters (like ethernet to wi-fi).

Any suggestions?
