When I'm traveling, I put any wifi devices (phones, laptops, tablets, kindles, even an Amazon Echo Show 5 I use as a travel clock) all behind the router, and then plug it in to the ethernet jack in the hotel.
If there's no ethernet jack, you can also use repeater mode to have the router connect to hotel wifi. Easiest way is to connect your phone to hotel wifi, sign in via their web portal, then connect to your router's wifi and click the button to clone your phone's MAC address. Boom. As far as the hotel is concerned, your router is your phone.
One thing I love is that these routers are USB C-powered, meaning it will run off a battery pack. I used it at a company picnic to demo a VR headset for people, with wireless casting to a laptop for those watching. There was no electricity in the picnic pavilion, and had this router up for about 6 hours on a 10,000mAh battery, which still had plenty of charge remaining.

2. Security - through VPN
How do you know Hotel Wifi is secure enough to prevent hacker from sniffing your data? Example, MGM got hacked recently.
3. Usability and Cost - ability to use more than 2x devices
In Vegas, you have to pay extra to get access to get WiFi. Paying for that bullshit resort fee only give you 2 device access per room. If you want more devices, you have to pay more. When my Friend and I were in Vegas on a work trip, we both have 2x phones, a tablet each and laptops = 8 devices. Having this kind of device allow us not having to pay for 6x more devices.
I used this (or attempted to) use this exact model on the Wonder of the Seas March of last year. Did not work for me at all despite working fine and prepping at home no issues. Thankfully bought my old TP-link AC750 as a backup that worked with the WiSP flawlessly. Not sure why it didn't work to this day, but wasn't going to spend whole cruise figuring it out when it was a shiny new Oasis class (and our first RCL cruise). Great little device, but returned it as a result of that experience. I'm hoping things have changed since then, but this was my experience as of Mar 2022. YMMV.
These days I'm just getting the mid-tier Internet package on its own if it's a newer ship and longer trip prior to boarding while it's cheaper (even tho that shit's a rip off). The Mardis Gras felt damn near close to late speeds when I went this January, and I think that's right when it got Starlink. Depends on how worth it faster/reliable connectivity is for you vs. using WiSP on a potentially slower network. I think I'll use thee travel routers on shorter/cheap cruises if anything , but it probably makes more sense to use it on a ship with already great WiFi for 1 device instead.
My bad, meant to reply to you instead, but far fingered on mobile lol. Please read my previous post above this one.

I had issues coonecting on Mariner OTS since I couldn't connect to the captive portal. But I was able to find a resolution before sail away while I still had mobile data.
Changing DNS settings solved my issue.

Short answer: Yes. The repeater mode uses hotel Wi-Fi and broadcasts your own Wi-Fi network for your devices. Just a reminder: for any of these modes/methods, to get the full security benefit you want to be using a VPN with it also… ideally to your home network or a network that you trust.
Used it on a RC cruise 4 weeks ago. I changed the SSID to the same one I use at the house so no one in the family had to put passwords into their devices. The range was also surprisingly good for the ship having metal walls, full signal in adjacent rooms and still connected about 75-80 feet down the halls

Hmm, I wonder if that's what happened and prevented me. Son of a bitch, I wish I had that information earlier lol! I could've set up a temp captive portal at home to test this out first. However, this being my first RCL, the Wonder having new networking service/hardware from its sister ships (if I recall, might've just made that up), and the little data points available at the time since we were on its 3rd sailing ever made this all an uncertainty I guess. Just glad my backup still worked even if it was slower.

In the olden days Best Buy finally got to the point with GPS units that they put a large bright orange sticker on the boxes indicating that they couldn't be returned, after a very short time period IIRC (maybe a day or two).
--------------------------------
The solution #3 on that https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/e...ve_portal/ link was funny. Hotel staff not going to add anything to their whitelist. They are not IT savvy.
Heck, I could not even get a hotel staff to power cycle their router when we were the only people in the hotel (first of the season), and I knew that a simple reboot would clear up the problem.
From what I recall, when I bought this there was another model about to be released that I would have preferred, but I needed one immediately. This has been great and I haven't really needed better performance so I never looked into the other models again.

I was having problems also cloning mac address, and found out my new Samsung s23 phone no longer use your phones permanent mac address. They use dynamic Mac addresses for each Internet connection to increase privacy unless you manually configure each one to use phones mac address. So you may need to set that option or look at each WiFi connections mac address in configuration and copy over manually. Cloning your phones mac address on connection with travel router will lead to a diff mac address than the one with the cruise ship

Other than convenience , what can this do that VPN Hotspot on a phone can't?
PS: Phone doesn't have ethernet ports so you can't have a wired setup
