There are a bunch of travel routers you can get for $50 or so, not going to link to one because I don't want to seem like I'm promoting something. Just genuinely surprised at how big of an improvement this has been. This is my first post on r/LifeProTips so apologies if doing it wrong.

Basically a travel router plugs in once, you get on its network and direct it to the hotel wifi. Then you do the room number / last name, access code, Bonvoy login whatever dance *once* and the whole fam can connect directly to your network. All tablets, phones, laptops, whatever, all suddenly come to life. You get to be the hero of the trip. Especially useful for international travel when cell phones aren't working or getting data.

AND it's a great hedge against spotty wifi connectivity in the room. You just need to find the one good spot for a connection (usually near the door, and I've found most hotels have an outlet there for staff vacuums) and suddenly it's full bars everywhere.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
