"Media players like Chromecast can transform simple televisions into flexible internet connected displays. Unfortunately, in some environments, Internet access requires manual steps to login. So called „captive portal. networks, like the ones present at our Stanford meetings space, make using internet connected devices challenging. A similar problem affects Internet of Things devices. I.ll explain how to use the DD-WRT router or other flexible routing software to 'fix' the network locally and enable these devices to function, opening the door to wireless presentations and more."
