I then was able to turn on the Roku and watch TV shows on Crackle and Netflix etc.

I attempted to do this first with my Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 and couldnt figure out how to change the wireless adapters MAC address.įortunately I also brought my Toshiba Netbook with me running Windows XP Home SP3 which allowed me to easily edit the MAC address to that of the same as the Roku ( with the Roku not powered ) to accept the wireless terms and conditions for 7 free days of use, and then I was able to set my netbook MAC address back to the original that I wrote down before spoofing it as the Roku's MAC address.

While out on business trip, I ended up buying a Roku from Walmart and soon found out that in order to use it at the Marriott, that I would have to use my laptop to spoof the wireless network with the same MAC address of the Roku in order to use the browser to accept the free wireless terms and conditions in which the hotels network gives a 7-day lease to allow wireless internet.
