    Do you have to login to a portal or anything like that when connecting to the fre wifi?

    If you dont and all you do is cannect and off you are then a vonets wifi bridge would work.

        What OS

        Hi what os have you got on the laptop?

        If you have a windows OS.
        You can use an Ethernet crossover cable between the laptop and the dreambox.
        Use internet connection sharing to give the dreambox access to the internet.
