I clone my home WiFi SSID with my travel router so when we arrive at the hotel all of our devices auto connect without having to configure the consent / captive WiFi screen.
It’s also nice to control VPN and DNS from one place , in case the hotel is doing DNS or IP filtering.
And quite a few hotels still offer wired Ethernet , which helps performance.
- jasoncartwright 10mo agoHotel wifi is often hilariously slow compared to plugging my travel router into an in-room ethernet socket. From spotty <10mbps to often a full uncontended gigabit. Makes video conferencing and large downloads usable.
- forwardandback 10mo agoI hadn't considered this advantage. Hotel wifi is indeed often crappy.
