Hi,
I recently purchased a CS918 Android TV Box mainly for Kodi but after a bit of experimentation, it occurred to me that I may be able to use it to connect my Xbox One to the internet.
It's a little bit complicated so here goes:
My internet is provided through a hotspot called BT Openzone. I have an app on my computer which automatically connects me (BT WIFI) rather than going to a landing page in the internet browser and typing in my account details. Up to now, I use my laptop to create a wifi access point and my xbox connects directly to that. So in summary, my old system works as follows:
Internet > BT Openzone portal > laptop > wifi access hub > xbox
With my new android box, there is a BT WIFI app supported on Android so I would like to try and make the following happen:
Internet > BT Openzone portal > Android box > MAGIC??? > Xbox
Ideally, I wanted to do it with a wired connection, both my xbox and android have ethernet but I've tried it and it doesn't seem to be working. I haven't got a USB to ethernet adaptor or I'd try using the tethering option but before I go buy one, does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?
I have a very limited understanding of network configuration and there doesn't seem to be an app out there for this.
