I frequently travel, and bring my AppleTV with me to hook up to hotel TVs.

It would be great if they made a way to support Web logins for WiFi.

At the moment, I do t see a big change between this version and the one I own. If they added that feature, I’d buy it in a heartbeat so I could stop spoofing my AppleTV’s MAC on my laptop just to login to the hotel web portals.

I know people who plug the hotel ethernet into their own travel router to circumvent the captive portal. Though now you have to travel with another device
I just did this and used hotspot sharing from my phones LTE. Was faster than the WiFi I was at!
Doesn't watching video burn through your data?
I have an unlimited plan
I prefer just taking an HDMI adapter for my phone, as it’s more compact.
