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.

If you're literally talking about disconnecting the router you use at home, the most obvious one is that it's already configured for your home. Why would you want to disrupt that, only to have to reconfigure it when you get home? Moreover, if you have any smart devices or IP cameras, they'll cease to operate.
Speaking more generally, most consumer routers don't expose all the features this has unless you're willing to pay a premium. They're completely dumbed down by design. This is why third party firmware is often sought after.
Also, this can be powered by USB, whereas most consumer routers require an AC outlet. This lets you get around needing regional travel converters as well as making it really easy to power this from your car or a backup battery.
So interesting if true, but this is one person with no one else able to confirm. "Grain of salt" doesn't even begin to cut it.
It makes it easy for traveling with multiple family members and kids.
I bring our chromecast and our echo dot and everything connects automatically once the internet is connected. It's so convenient for all those reason we use it for. Especially echo dot for an alarm or bedtime audio books.

"The fan is driven by CPU temperature, not how many users are connected"
Do you not understand what load is and what causes it? Of course more users means higher CPU usage which leads to an increase in temperature.
Name one router that doesn't have higher load as more traffic is sent through it. I'm sure all of the major data centers would love to have it.
If you don't understand this basic concept, you obviously won't have a single recourse for how to mitigate or fix it, which is precisely why a majority of the consumer hardware on the market is watered down and holds your hand through every step.
But the fact that you think every piece of hardware should be just as dumbed down so that it receives your stamp of approval is plain ignorance.
While the device power on, even not in use after an hour , the fan starts spinning to make noise
Speed and bandwidth caps on the last 2 cruises I went on made something like this pointless
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.
This is an example of the "support" I got from them:
Q: "How to clone the wireless MAC address? The input is to clone the wired (ethernet) address." Useful to log in with a phone and then clone the Glnet wireless mac address
A: "It works on both Ethernet and Repeater. there is currently an ambiguity in the design of the interface, it will be changed in the next version."
It did get warm to the touch though.

Maybe someone will enlight me, but I never really understood why buying something more powerful than the mini travel routers mentioned above (or equivalent) to get unlimited hotspot with visible or other carriers. They can handle 4 or 5G speed all right. The one with detachable antenna(e) can be retrofitted with larger antenna(e). I have used successfully a yagi 15dBi and a 19dBi flat panel I used to use whilst war driving a LONG time ago.
