So only an extender that can access the login page?
Do you know of one that works?

Your connecting the extender to the optimum network,
When connected the login page will open on your device.
Most tp-link extenders will work

Or the more complicated version, which is similar to what you were trying to do

No.
You need to install DD-WRT which can only be installed on a regular router. Once you install DD-WRT follow these instructions: https://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/747884-How-to-use-an-Optimum-WiFi-hot-spot-with-multiple-computers

Here is my 5 cents. I tried this extender and it works very well!
1) It is working in repeating mode and suppose to drop speed by half, like any typical router, but it does not! Speed remains the same, I would connect to hot spot or I connect to extender.
2) I also noticed one thing. After white-listing Mac address of extender and connecting to it from your desktop you are redirected to optimum.net to register a device. Here is important to do whitelisting desktops in browser of mobile mode, it should not ask mac and should register your device as Iphone. Only in this scenario I have a stable internet on my desktop, otherwise I had reconnection problems each time.
Cheers!
