Chromecast On Hotel WiFi (or any Google TV device)

When the hotel splash page will not load you can not click "accept".
I can get this to work on Firestick through a browser by entering the hotels router IP but can't on Dynalink which is a Google TV device.

The easy way is to turn on your laptop hotspot and use that. Speed suffers but it works.

Another way I have not yet tried is MAC spoofing.
Select the hotel's wifi with the Google device and record the MAC of the Google device. The device will be connected to WiFi but no internet access.
Turn off the Google device.
Go to Device Manager on the laptop and enter the Google device MAC

When you connect laptop to hotel's wifi you should be able to access splash page.
You still may need to enter the routers IP to access the splash page.
Chrome often doesn't work so try Firefox.
Disconnect WiFi and remove the MAC spoof and restart the laptop.
Now when you restart the Google streaming device it should be authorized.
