I've seen wireless travel routers on Amazon.
But I can't figure out what function they serve?
If I'm traveling, I try to use the secure wifi at the hotel. If the place doesn't have a secure wifi and I need to connect a device like a laptop wirelessly, my smart phone also can serve as a hotspot. That way, I get a secure connection. Sure, I can't play games or download big files, but at least get on knowing there won't be any snooping going on.
Which leads me to my the question. What does a travel wireless router do that can't be done just using a portable hotspot device?
