Googel Home at university

m1nibuck

so my problems is as a present i got given a google home but I’m currently in university accommodation so i have to use the university provided wifi/network but they use a captive-portal network on their wifi so i can’t connect it and also i don’t think connecting a google home to public wifi is adviseable so I need to create my own network for the googel home I thought about using something like a travel router in bridge mode but checking the university termes and condition it sied these are prohibited so my question is can you make a travel router invisible to a network administrator or is there another solution to this problem that i cant think of

thanks

You could use your current phone (however this would only work when you're there) / an old phone to WiFi share as a hotspot, but again this might be prohibited. I would reach out to the network admin to check, I'm sure this has come up before.
