In a client mode I am not sure if you can achieve this with wired connection. Client mode requires SSID to be provided...

I wrote to TP-Link regarding this as they seem to failed here. It is supposed to be all purpose travel unit so I would be disappointed if they overlooked such issue. TP-Link gets IP properly from hotel ISP, you can even ping external IPs, but typing any URL or IP directly into browser fails (while it should redirect you to startup page to purchase the service).

Folks using Airport Express are reporting that they have no issues triggering the startup page allowing them to purchase internet service and agree to t&c.
TP-Link works properly in another hotel, getting hotel's isp page first so I could purchase a package and use it as a router. I am not sure why it didn't work in the previous hotel.
