Are there any devices that will allow you to connect to a hotel internet, do their authentication, and then connect your own wireless AP? They all want you to type in your last name and room number and well, if I want to set up a camera in the room to keep an eye on it when I am out of the room, i will need a way to set up a mini-LAN. Thanks.

Travel routers are built for this. One of the leading companies in travel routers is GL.iNet, go look at their product line.

Thanks. And these have a way to login to the hotel network using the hotel authentication prompts?
