Hi Sam
Yes I did have a problem in that using the Asus in AP mode I could not
get to the web page to put in the authentication details because I did
not get an address - but every time I tried to get into the Asus it
diverted to a "can't resolve something in the hotel network" popup.
Putting my old Artem card in worked perfectly.
