This is a small travel router that connects to an ethernet port of an existing network, OR can be connected to an existing Wi-Fi network and used to create your own personal Wi-Fi network but this router uses a VPN to mask your traffic when used.
It can also be used on Visible to share a phone connection with multiple devices but you will be required to use a TTL hack to make it work.
1. Connect phone/laptop to captive login wifi.
2. Connect GL.iNet to power
3. Log in to GL.iNet web interace
4. Change GL.iNet router MAC address to the same as that of your phone/laptop.
5. Connect GL.Inet to hotel WiFi, and it'll work.
Side note, I have this and it works great, the VPN works well too.

Where it gets complicated is when your employer also has a VPN that they force you to use to get on their network and a firewall that purposely blacklists other VPN endpoints.
Going through most corporate VPNs is slower than whale snot, so adding another to the mix just makes it worse. And if they restrict public VPNs all together, you're forced to use your home internet as a VPN endpoint.
A better alternative would be to leave your work laptop at home and remote into it as needed.
My point is that if it is that difficult to get basic info, then it would be really hard to get complex info, and I gave up on them. This is just my experience, yours may be better.
I am not saying that this isnt worth it. Just warning people that you are pretty much on your own in terms of support, or you will have to post to the support forums for info and hope someone can provide you with answers. Dont expect their tech support to be helpful.
Luckily, a majority of the home consumer market is targeted toward the experience you want.
Some brands to try: Netgear, TP-Link, Linksys.
I would avoid ASUS, as their interface can be daunting for users who like having a lot of settings available to them but don't actually like to read up on what they do.

I can definitely see how "you have to do some math to figure out the MAC address" isn't as straightforward as most vendors, who would either have it in a main admin page, or have one sticker with ALL the MACs listed.
