Can GL inet not do that? Genuinely asking.

Can confirm. It also has a mode to jump through the captive portal. I just set it up with the same SSID and PSK as my home wifi and everything we bring connects automatically. It also routes everything through Tailscale.

  • Yep, I have the same set up. Use GL router to connect to the hotel wifi, and all devices are automatically connected, without captive portal on each one.

    Added bonus that I can use tailscale on the GL router to route remote traffic through my tailnet -- including devices where I can't install tailscale client (e.g. corp laptop).

This Unifi device is primarily meant as an add-on to exising Unifi setups as it's all well integrated.
