What travel router did you use? I take it you set the router up as a WiFi hot spot, like I did?

I got the D-Link DIR-505L, used it as a WiFi hot spot and it works great. I also use it at home in the "Repeater" mode to extend the home wifi signal. Thanks for the tip!

Likewise thank you for the tip on D-Link DIR-505L! I've been on the road for the past three weeks at four different timeshare properties and utilized the 505 as a wifi-extender and "hid" our connections behind it.

It made it easier for our devices to connect to the same Wifi provider name I setup every time we moved and eliminated in most cases the need to log into the network every time we'd close and re-open the lid on the laptops.

Very useful!!!

I did end up purchasing the Netgear Trek, and it works great... exactly as you describe the D-Link to work. I can use it to create a private network using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. And when I'm not traveling, I use it to extend my home Wi-Fi.
