I was at the Intercontinental in Buenos Aires and using my otherwise reliable ASUS wl-330ge router connected to the hotel's wireless LAN to create my personal hotspot. This configuration in countless other hotels to hook up multiiple devices.

However, in this hotel, I had to accept the charge through a browser based gateway and for re-connecting (say after a period of inactivity), had to click on an 'existing user' button. The moment I tried to connect with a second device (let alone a third one), the first connection would drop.

What's up and how does one overcome this? BTW, the hotel uses a 'Nomadix' package to control access.
