    Default wi fi abroad

    ok im sure i have seen or heard about a portable (travel) wifi router,to let yous understand i travel to my timeshare places and have free wifi ,but its limited to ,if we have a 1 bedroom 2 devices 2 bedroom 4 devices and so on ,we were in lanzarote and had a 2 bedroom which is 4 devices but there was 5 of us and we had to keep logging off so the next person could get on ,we are giving the same password for each device but i was wondering if travel wifi would help?and if so how would i set it up ? most of the places i go to have cat 5 ports could i use one of these https://www.google.co.uk/aclk?sa=l&a...QvhcINg&adurl=

    That looks like a good shout. It might depend on how the free wifi identifies how many devices are connected - in an ideal situation that travel router you posted would be counted as one device.

    If you have a cat5e outlet a std router set up as a ap should suffice. Would probably need some kind of way to login to their network.

    The other option is have the 'extra' device if a phone buy a simple card native to the country.

    I did this in Turkey and worked better than the hotels and bars wifi
