Good morning,
I am looking for a small travel router that enables me to share 5 devices in a hotel room that has either wireless or hardwired networking service.
Are these statements about WISP and NAT correct?
I need WISP capability if
1) There are no hardwired active ethernet ports in my hotel room
2) I want to capture the hotel wireless signal via the travel router in such a way that all my devices can use it.
In a WISP-only scenario:
If all I do is use a travel router that supports WISP, each device will need to click Accept on the hotel's challenge screen.
I can use a router's NAT capability with either a Wireless or Wired ethernet source.
NAT eliminates the need for each device to click Accept to the hotel's challenge screen (and/or eliminates the need for each device to pay for a unique connection.)
So with multiple devices:
In a hotel with Wireless only, I'd want to use use WISP + NAT to avoid a challenge screen and/or $charge per device.
In a hotel with wired ethernet, I'll plug the ethernet cable from the wall into the WAN port, and use wired ethernet + NAT to avoid a challenge screen and/or $charge per device.
Right?
