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.

Works well in hotels with captive portal. I only need to log in once, and it works solidly for at least several days.
I didn't notice any performance issues, though I hadn't tried the built in encryption features.
Once you installed the mt7622 package,
On your phone, install easytether pro and turn on usb debugging.
If you don't know how to turn on usb debugging, Google "turn on usb debugging [enter phone model]" as each model is slightly different.
Once you have usb debugging turned on.
Open easytether pro app on your phone.
In the easytether app, checkmark the usb box.
Now with a usb-a to usb-c cable connect the phone to the router.
Note: make sure that the cable you use is data-tranfer capable cable and not a charging only cable.
On your phone, you should get a notification requesting permission. Click "allow" or "accept" or "allow always"

Now in the router ip 192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci,
In the header at the top. Go to Network -> Interfaces
On this page, on the left side, find the Word "WAN"
Next to "WAN", click edit.
In the new popup
Set protocol to "DHCP client"
Set device to "tap-easytether"
Press save
Then at the bottom press "save & apply"
Note:"tap-easytether" may not show up unless you connect the phone to the router
Now your internet and all devices connected to the router should work.
you only need to do the above once.
Afterward, you only need to start the easytether app, check the usb box and connect the cable and once easytether says connection established, internet should work.

To clarify. Your router will connect to the airport wifi.
Your devices(phone, tablet, laptop) will connect to the router.
Your devices will get internet through the router because the router is connected to the airport wifi

I had the same issue about same time frame as you and discovered there was a bug in the captive portal and maintaining a connection with the hotel WiFi. Like you I tried everything with Mac cloning, dns workarounds.. used the latest nightly build and it all started working. Wasted 2 nights on it but was working at the end of the day.
For those saying it doesn't work as a repeater/router mode in hotels or cruises, if you clone your phone MAC address (dns rebind), the hotel/cruise WiFi can't know how many different devices you are actually tunneling.
I never had this problem with my old Slate, but perhaps that this a good thing it is still under active development.
Great device and price!
Much lighter and smaller to pack into my luggage as well compared to a traditional full size router.

The Cudy got less flash though, 128 vs 256MB, not a deal breaker as long as you run the manufacturer's firmware, but it might matter when you go to OpenWRT, where you can install additional software.
