And again more fluff...

Your clearly didn't read my initial question. If you don't know the answer it's ok, just don't reply.

Ok so basically I live near an Optimum hotspot in Northern NJ. I have an Optimum account at my house, but my apartment is near an Optimum Hotspot which allows me to get internet for free from my apartment.

All my T.V.'s (TCL 65" & TCL 40") are smart and connect through WiFi through the hot spot with no issues.

Roomba, Kangaroo Doorbell (similar to Ring), the Roku remote from my iPhone, and an Amazon Alexa (which I gave away) will not connect to this hotspot.

ROUTER ISSUE
I bought a TP-Link (TL-WR940N) Router thinking I could simply use the router as a "repeater" and connect everything through there since the issue seems to be that the devices can't be found on the public network.

What/How can I connect everything together without actually buying my own plan?

I appreciate anyone's advice in advance.

In no way what I am asking for is against the law. I have a paid Optimum Subscription that allows up to 50 devices connected to it. How is connecting to their Hot Spot in my apartment against the law?

Please enlighten me since you seem to be the "Guru" around here...and save all the "fluff"


Thanks.
