I am sorry having been unclear.
Yes the "ISP" is a hotel WLAN. It provides an "open" WLAN, which 
however requires a sign-in over the browser. I am not allowed to sign 
in with another device :-( unless I stop the first sign-in.
I would love to be able to bridge the released internet connection to a 
separate private WLAN router over RJ45 to feed my other devices.
Currently the OS is Windows10 (cough), I was experimenting at that 
level. I could also dedicate a Raspberry PI to this job.
