How can I increase my limited bandwidth?
I go to a yacht club a couple of times each summer and stay on my boat, the club I am at has wifi, 100mbps to be exact. They have it setup so it limits one device to about 1.5 MB/s of internet. I am wondering if there is a way for me to get through that limiter so I can use more for movies and stuff. (I know it is limited per device because a paper says it in the building)

if you could do that without knowing the password to access their router, then what would be the point of setting it?

Sure. Either get your own ISP conenction, or talk to the router admin at the club. If you're the only person using that system, they _might_ be willing to change the bandwidth allocation for you.
Otherwise, go and buy/rent the BluRays.

Short answer: Without hacking their router, there's nothing you can do.
By using their internet, you are assigned an LAN ip by their router. So their router(s) handles all the information that is being sent to your device. You can try using multiple devices to gain extra bandwidth, but the queries sent by those devices will be associated with a different IP address and the router will treat them as separate devices when making queries on their behalf. This means the server you are downloading from (on the internet) would think they are a different device as well.
Basically you have to trick their router to give you extra bandwidth without tricking their routing into thinking a single device is actually multiple devices. That is very difficult to do.
