May I introduce you to GL-inet lineup.. if your area is not that big, perhaps a nimble [GL-inet Beryl 7](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3600be/?utm_source=websiet&utm_medium=menubar&utm_source=website&utm_medium=menubar) or its bigger brother [GL-inet Slate 7 Pro](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be10000/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=menubar) will do the job.. Or probably you will be inclined to look at its bigger sibling, the [GL-inet Flint 3](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be9300/) in case you're not familiar what a travel router is, maybe [this video](https://youtu.be/GJs1-aHZgfc) can help. If you will be choosing a travel router, maybe for its lower price, you will be able to bring it also when you travel to other places... i guess the selling point of these routers are its performance, network wide Adblocking ability thanks to its builtin Adguard Home, plus other privacy related features... not in any way related to the brand, but somebody who enjoys its performance thinking others may find it way way better than mainstream brands out there...

UniFi Cloud Gateway Cable with two Unifi U6 Enterprise APs Works flawlessly for approx. 1.5 years now. Got everything i need, VPN, Ad-Block, AP-Management. Sometimes if im at home and WiFi seems to drop a little in speed I plug in my Gli.Net Slate 7 Travel Router and use it as a Repeater.

I have used a gl.inet travel router for several years now. Works great. I only have to use one device, usually my laptop, to set up the travel router to connect to the hotel ( or whatever wifi I'm gonna use ) and then all my other devices are all set to go since they've already connected to the travel router in the past. Currently use a Slate 7 and it easily handles whatever I've thrown at it. The real limitation is always the wifi of the hotel, not the travel router.

I think this is a great use case for a Gl.inet travel router. It doesn't sound like your mother in law is really in need of super download speeds, so the 36MB free wifi should be more than enough. So connect the travel router to the free wifi and then everything in her trailer to that travel router. The travel router will hide all her internal devices like the printer and chromecast. Really, if you think about it, the trailer park is not all that differant than say a hotel, but instead of hotel rooms all connecting to one public wifi you have trailers connecting to one public wifi. no differant. so perfect for a travel router. I think this would be easier to maintain and configure over a normal router. Sure a normal router can be configured to act as a bridge, but why bother with having to figure out how to do that on the normal router when the travel routers already have all that functionality build right into it and are designed for that right out of the box. Plus a Gl.inet router is < 100 bucks, no. If you were to go with the 20 buck a month solution from the service provider after 5 months you would be spending more than just buying a travel router.

I totally bought the gl-inet slide 7 not knowing this was coming out. I’m going to have my dad get one and we can see how they compare

Yeah, I’m on team slate 7. Works great for hotels and cruise ships so far, but for $80ish dollars I am willing to give this a go I think… The slate 7 has worked very well for me, but is a bit of a chunky boy. I’m intrigued. If it works on a cruise ship, (not that I don’t already pay for a couple internet devices per cruise, but it’s much easier to not decouple a device to log in with a kindle and download a book), then I will probably run with it. I’d also like to see how it really handles hotels, ships, and airports and stuff like captive WiFi. Slate 7 has been excellent with WireGuard, and can easily clone MAC addresses and do all the things I need. But at this price point, maybe a bit more portable; and user friendly I probably will buy one. Worst case it’s a good travel router in the car I suppose. One of my smaller Anker usb c battery pack that is capable of 20 watts works well with the slate, but perhaps with this device it would be more easily pocketable to take to the pool at the hotel, or the lounge. One of our trips I would put my slate 7 on our balcony overlooking the pool at the hotel so we could just have our devices use it. It had pretty good range.
