Chris Parker's Personal Blog – Flying, sailing and photography, mostly. And gadgets.
Here’s a great little gadget for travelling. It’s the GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2
I use it to convert public hotel WiFi and into my own private network. That way, I only have to log on to the hotel once and all my other devices then connect to the router. If the hotel room has ethernet you can use that instead.
