2. Are _both_ the edimax and the asus capable of wifi sharing without an ethernet connection requirement?

3. From what I understand, each time I get to the hotel, I need to:
3.1) Start up the router (edimax or asus)
3.2) connect to its its wifi ssid from one of my i-devices
3.3) Go to the router settings and set it in WISP mode to connect to hotel ssid
3.4) specify an ssid for local broadcast from the router
3.5) apply

4. Next up, from one of my i-devices connect to the local ssid that I just configured on the device

5. Open up a browser and try and surf from any of my i-devices. This should bring up the hotel portal on that i-device. Sign up. Pay.

6. Now if I connect from any other i-device, that portal should not come up because the mac address is of the router device and I already signed up once

Correct?

I can live with that :-D
