Bridge from public hotspot

Right now my only access to the Internet is through a wired public hotspot that requires credentials upon login (username and password in a captive portal).

However, I'd like to connect to this network with devices that don't have a browser/the ability to use a hotspot. I don't have any alternative to reach the internet.

I was thinking about using a router in bridge mode, but I'm not sure it could automatically login to the captive portal.

What would you recommend?

Bridging may get you blacklisted from the hotspot.

 

I had issues on a college campus with this even though it was legitimate use.  It wasnt worth ITs time to setup an exception.
