I have a 2 device plan for Delta, it's $60 per month

I don't think I screwed anyone else over. Gogo limits per-device bandwidth so that no one person can screw everyone over by firing up Netflix and streaming House of Cards in 4K. Since the router acts as a single device, all of my devices were limited to, in aggregate, whatever Gogo sets the limit at, and since any devices connected to the router have to share that bandwidth, the only one getting screwed over is me. (And my wife...)

Plus my usage was limited to checking emails, watching the flight I was on on Flightaware and doing some calculus homework... All pretty low-bandwidth activities.

Bumping an old thread...it seems Gogo has in the past week (or on my current flight at least) blocked some travel routers.

I’ve been using a HooToo router for years to split my connection between my phone and iPad. Flew JFK-LAX RT last week on a 764, and it worked great as normal. Today, I’m on an A333 JFK-LAX, and attempting to log in through the travel router brings me to a Gogo-branded error page I’d never seen before. Router reboots etc have no effect. Connecting directly via iPad yields a good connection with no errors.

We’ll see if my return flight exhibits the same behavior. In the meantime, I’ve got to look into changing the MAC on my travel router.

Most travel routers will let you easily clone the MAC address of whatever device you use t:o configure them.

I do this all the time with My tmobile unlimited gogo.

Sign in to gogo on Android phone, turn airplane mode off but also mobile data off, then turn on hotspot. Boom, I can share free tmobile gogo with my laptop/ipad.

Also works for many paid wifi services, Have used the same meathod on UA, AA, JAL, QR and ANA with 0 issues.

What phone do you have? I know this is impossible on most phones so I'd like to get my hands on a phone that would allow it.

In the Google Fi thread it was mentioned that Google phones from Pixel 3 onward have this capability:

Pixel 3 XL

Another option that works on many phones is to use BT or USB tethering .

As others mentioned, I just hotspot my phone (Galaxy S10) or tablet to my laptop; so easy and I can receive/send texts without having to use a third party app like WhatsApp. I haven't owned an iPhone in years, but, I had to jailbreak it back then to get it to do the same functionality - not sure what the new models are able to do.

Windows 10 has a built-in ability to be a hotspot:

So if you're trying to connect a Windows 10 laptop and a phone to one Gogo connection, connect the laptop to Gogo and then turn on its hotspot feature to connect the phone. (I haven't tried this, but I see no reason it wouldn't work.)
