If you have a modern android phone(I use a galaxy s21) you can install EasyTether pro on the android phone and connect the phone to the router with a USB-A to USB-C cable and it will let you use the phone's data.
Any devices connected to this router will use the phone data without using "hotspot" data
It does require some setting up but not too difficult.
once it is setup, you just turn the router on and open up easytether on your phone and plug your phone into the router.
the setup is basically
1. installing the driver in openwrt.
download the openwrt 19.xx -openssl download on the mobile-stream website, who is the developer of easytether
the driver is in the "mediatek" folder, labeled mt7622.
2. buy and install easytether pro on your android device.
3. turn on the usb debugging on your phone.
4. open the easytether app on the phone and plug in the phone to the router.
5. In OpenWrt configure the EasyTether network interface (tap-easytether) to use DHCP and make it part of your WAN zone.
for more clarification, you can see the easytether website instructions next to the openwrt 19.xx driver download
the driver is the mt7622 file. you should install this using stock gl.net firmware because if you flash the latest openwrt firmware and then try to install this driver, you will get errors
My cell carrier is USmobile with GSM network btw. and it works without any issues for atleast 8 hours straight. I didnt test longer than that as it is unnecessary.
also make sure that the cable used is a data-transfer and not a charge-only usb-a to usb-c cable. you can figure which is which if the connect the phone to a computer and the computer recognizes the phone as a phone and you can move pictures from the phone to the computer. this was the part that caused me alot of trouble.
you can change the TTL param in the router, and get the same result.

Can someone make sense of this thing in lamens terms?
Yes, I know about logging in with your phone to the new SSID, then cloning your phone's private MAC. But it seems more often that it doesn't work smoothly and takes multiple tries.

Some of those portals does however keep track of MACs, and if it sees a router MAC, it'll deny the logon.
In those cases you need to clone the MAC from a phone (doesn't have to be yours, just any phone), once, and have your router always use it for the uplink (wired or wireless).
I've seen it used on cruise ships, though. I've also seen it used in hostals. If you want EAP you need to get slate AX one.

When traveling, all your devices just need to know the wifi login to this unit, and when you arrive at your location, you setup up this router to connect to a hotel/public wifi etc, takes a few mins and all your devices now connected, and even safe with OpenVPN/Wireguard built into it.
Fun fact, it can be powered on with a battery bank (usb-c port) as well.

Travel while working, have laptop establish VPN so it looks as if it were still using your home internet connection.

You're largely right about hotels only hitting 5/AC speeds, but there are other benefits to newer hardware besides raw bandwidth. Better range/resilience, more capabilities in the router itself, for example.
