Am I missing something that I could have been using the TripMate for?

Example travelling with friends or family in the car/plane plug a usb with media to router and allows 4 other users to connect and stream different movies simultaneously. Obviously saves having multiple devices to carry with inbuilt power bank . The main selling point for me is there is no need for actually wifi to stream to other devices. Also works with chromecast good for connecting to screen for presentations on the go or bk at the hotel for TV.

I've had the tripmate nano for quite a while, and with openwrt it is good for two things:
1) as a very slow hardware VPN client, so I don't have to keep authenticating and can secure access from alternate devices like my phone
2) for a couple of hotels I've stayed at where the Wifi signal was very weak, but they had a relatively good ethernet connection.
It and the original elite both support OpenWRT -- something like that is a prerequisite for using it as the VPN bridge.
I've been very pleased with the nano. Sadly, the Titan (and the new Elite U which I just noticed) do not seem to support OpenWRT (at least yet.)

I also use it when traveling in the sticks with family and I need more than the 5 device connections allowed by my hotspot.

Ok, sounds like I need to play with this thing. One hotel I frequent has crappy wifi (at least in the rooms they always give me), so maybe this will help if I use the wired connection.

Sometimes does not work in hotels unless they have a wired connection in room with NO password/login. WiFi connections with PW/Login are hit and miss.

I've used my HooToo (Nano, I think) on planes a ton to extend one paid session to all of my devices, and those of my traveling companions, if I'm with friends or family.
I've also used it in hotels.
The thing is fantastic. For years, I was looking for a way to do Wifi in and out. This finally does it.

I have been using my HooToo only a few times since I got it. Most hotels got pretty good wifi and let you connect with multiple devices. But I am going on Celebrity Cruise in a few months. I have unlimited internet but I read that you can only use it on one device. You could log off from that device and log on with another. I will be trying to see if HooToo works so I could have all the phones, laptops, and tablets connected.

Any DP on whether or not Hootoo works with GoGo inflight? I assume that's what some of you are using, but I also read reports of gogo blocking it.
