On a macbook this can be achieved with terminal. Change your laptop or other devices MAC address to be the same as the Apple TV. Hook up your apple TV and go to network settings. If you want to use your Apple TV 2 with your hotel's internet connection MAC address cloning seems to be the most effective method. At one point the menus changed as if it was working but I never actually managed to watch anything. Like wise internet sharing from wifi to ethernet (ATV2 hooked into macbook ethernet) didn't work for me. I tried hooking up my laptop via ethernet and internet share with ad-hoc connection - Apple TV will not connect to ad-hoc networks (not sure about the original ATV)Ģ. The problem arises from the need to satisfy the hotel's wifi splash screen.ġ. I will point out that I'm using apple tv from 2011 (the black one). Little did I know the problems I would encounter with this process. It would have been much simpler to go and buy a cable to hook the laptop/ipad to the TV but I liked the versatility of apple TV - especially as far as future utility is concerned. I recognize that apple TV is not the only solution to this problem. We have a netflix account which we enjoy quite a bit and decided it would be nice to watch on the hotel TV rather than the laptop. My wife and I ended up away from home for a prolonged period.
