Using Your Tv In A Hotel Or Dorm Room - Hitachi 55R7 Owner's Manual

Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room

Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless Internet access often require you to
interact with a web page to authenticate your access. These restricted public networks are commonly known as captive
portal networks. When you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information is
needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the requested information.
Tips:
• Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless availability and use of your net-
work-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to authenticate access to your account.
• Be sure to bring your Roku TV remote control, because the Remote feature of the Roku mobile app may
not work when connected to a hotel or dorm room network.
• Content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside your home country due to geo-filter-
ing.
To connect your TV to the restricted network:
1. Either during Guided Setup or after using the Settings > Network menu to set up a new connection, the TV auto-
matically detects that you are connecting to a restricted network and displays the following prompt:
Tip: Your TV can connect to a restricted network only if Device connect is enabled in Settings > System >
Advanced system settings. (Device connect is enabled by default, but if you have disabled it, the TV cannot
complete the connection.)
Note: Device connect is not present if the TV is in non-connected mode.
2. If you selected the correct network, highlight I am at a hotel or college dorm, and then press OK. The TV
prompts you to use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to complete the connection.
