The use case you first mentioned was connecting to a hotel network. If captive portals aren't common where you are, do you accomplish the connection with the usual SSID and password? Is there any post-connection dialogue before you can reach the Internet?

Usually SSID and password, but the place I've staying for a long time (I feel like the Major from Fawlty Towers, except I'm working) is password free. But they have limited connection between devices on the network, (not sure whether fully blocked or not and whether by accident or design). However I did experiments at a different hotel (in Scotland at Christmas) which had a portal and that didn't seem to allow connectivity either. (This wasn't with Moode).
I had to mess around with a WiFi extender from work to get the devices to talk (when on the extended network they could) however this was far too much trouble and now I simply use memory sticks.
