Oddly, I've been staying in Hyatts more this year than ever before thanks to covid and the ability to work / school from ski resorts. That's made the daily need to re-auth to the wifi that much more annoying; I'd even prefer the old way of having to choose the zero dollar option and get to specify access for a week at a time. The 24 hour cycle of having your internet interrupted and needing to have iOS/android do their thing is a bit more annoying when it occurs during my kid's virtual school sessions or I'm on a work conf call. Curious if anyone's found a workaround, perhaps calling wifi assistance and having them register your devices' mac addresses in some way that allows them to bypass that need to re-auth before checkout? Haven't given that a try yet as usually getting to someone technical enough to help with issues like that is an ordeal in itself, but I'd be willing to try since many of my stays are 7+ days in length for the next month.

Marriott seems to have this be a non-issue by not requiring any of the pop-up portals, given the wifi is free anyway, just like hyatt if you're willing to fill in an email address that may not even be valid. Whole thing seems to be a pointless annoyance.
