How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

Noob with the router setup that seen on ozbargain.... but that's exactly what I'm referring to... just a bit of how to do in accor hotels as looked behind TV today and saw white box that Ethernet plugged into before onto TV. Figure wired better than Wi-Fi. VPN recommendation too?

Sometimes you can use the ethernet from behind the TV, sometimes that network isn't connected to the internet though. Just bridge the wifi as @sudoer mentioned. While most hotels advertise wired and will have a socket at the desk, 90% of the time it's not actually connected.

My VPN is back to my home. I also use my home DNS so I'm not leaking DNS info to whatever DNS server the hotel has decided I should use.

In most rooms there's an ethernet connection near the desk, but if not, these support bridging the hotel wifi (including signing into the captive portal) which works fine.

The VPN encrypts your internet traffic, the router's NAT introduces a layer of protection between your phone/laptop and the hotel network.

I use ExpressVPN but any of the reputable providers will work fine
