I'm staying at a resort that has Windstream as their internet service provider and they are unable to connect my Apple TV to their service. Is there another way to connect my Apple TV to the resort WiFi?
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14
The resort Wi-Fi will likely have a captive network portal, where the user should sign in with username and password.
As Apple TV is intended for home networks where the Wi-Fi does not ask for a username, it cannot connect there.
The solution is a personal travel router to bridge your devices with their network. Your travel router signs in to their network (captive), and your devices sign in to your travel router (non-captive).
In their Fair Use Policy, and depending on their capacity, the resort may restrict bandwidth on bandwidth hogging activity clients, such as through TV streaming devices.

Is there another way to connect my Apple TV to the resort WiFi without contacting the internet service provider?
