I guess you would need to use (1)
It is unclear to me if you have one internal network (network behind
your laptop) or if both the Ipad and the laptop are connected to the
wireless infrastructure of the guest (hotel airport ...).
The former would be your best bet here including improve security.
If the latter, you can't control the restriction put on the guest
wireless. So advertising services on a guest network might never work.
