When connecting your travel router to an airport or hotel Wi-Fi that uses a “login or agree” captive portal, the internet often won’t start immediately because the router itself needs to complete the portal authentication before your devices can access the web. To solve this, you usually need to connect a phone or laptop directly to the router’s network, open a browser, and the captive portal page should appear. From there, you can log in, accept terms, or enter any credentials, and once the router successfully authenticates, all devices connected through it will gain internet access. Some advanced travel routers even allow you to handle captive portals more easily through their mobile app or web interface.
