I've actually been meaning to buy a travel router for quite some time, so I picked up the one he recommends on sale on Amazon right now:

We're doing more traveling now, and I bring my own Roku, a tablet, a laptop and of course, our phones. The Roku at least knows how to log into a captive portal on hotel Wifi, but it would be nice just to carry a portable router that does it and let all my devices just connect to it. I also like the idea of the built in OpenVPN.

Wish I would have known about this years ago. I can no longer travel due to health issues (i.e. blood clot).
Re: Why You Need a Pocket Router and How To Use One for Travel
Just don't take it on certain cruise lines. They're cracking down on that lately. They want you paying per device.

Damn. Out of stock and no idea when they're getting more.

Just unboxed mine to set it up to use for a short stay later in the month. I was surprised to find it comes with a power supply that has clip on adapters for three other different electrical outlets in addition to North American.

Like it a lot. It's got some interesting features. Been meaning to set it up at home to try out Wifi7 on my AR headset.
