Help with Alpha R36 and Alpha AWUS036H

[RandK-M]

Question for any network gurus out there. I use the popular Alpha R36 and Alpha AWUS036H combo in my trailer to extend the range of campground WIFI and act as a router for a couple of devices. It works great most of the time except for the following problem:

I can't get the router to connect to certain campgrounds that require you to click a connect button on a webpage before using the internet.

Not one that uses a coupon code, but just directs you to a web page where you accept the agreement and click connect. I assume it leaves a cookie on the device.

After the site survey,I select the campground wifi, and it finds it but just keeps flashing "connecting" in red.

I've tried connecting directly with my computer and accepting the cookie first, but no go. Of course I can skip the R36 and connect directly, but We want the router mode to connect more than one device and the Alpha R36 and Alpha AWUS036H combo has much further range and a better signal.

Anyone have a way to make this work?

Sounds like a captive portal. Do you run at least Windows 7? If so, you can can turn your notebook into a hotspot router for other devices to connect to WiFi using the free, open source Virtual Wifi Hotspot. Does not require install.
