Travel router

What is the difference with that and just using your phone as a hotspot?

[–] vodiak@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Most of them aren't even a hotspot (cell connection to wifi). Main features are:

VPN to make it appear as if you're in another country
wifi sharing. Let's you use a single WiFi connection for multiple devices. Some hotels and many airlines/cruise ships charge per device and sharing makes all your devices appear as one. Also convenient because you only need to set up the new Wi-Fi on one device (the rest are already configured to your travel router).
acts as a repeater. Helpful if the wifi only works well on one side of the apartment you're renting

Definitely the benefit with products such as GLI net range is the ability to plug to an ethernet port in say a hotel room. Gives a reliable connection with no need to connect to wi fi network

It's cool to extend the signal so you can work outside.
