I am going to be careful here what I say since it might be a T&C issue.A friend's son in in a university hostel and the only Internet is wired. As an aside that's not very friendly since this current generation are into phones, tablets etc with WiFi only.Luckily the son does have a desktop with ethernet so he can access the net. But he wants to use his phone and tablet also. So we tried connecting a router to the port and create a small WiFi access point. It worked for a bit then stopped. We did see that when he connected his desktop it asked for a logon first and then from that time on, no further prompts occurred.So I am guessing the university router is authenticating his logon and then his PC and the router cannot authenticate? So they turned on some authentication and it stopped working?The router is a TP Link running Gargoyle so there is some flexibility in its configuration.Theoretically, is there a way he can use the router and have WiFi or is he stuck having to use 4G?Thanks
