WiFi for 2 devices

Thanks for the warning on this. I'm going in November and will be prepared. I have Netgear PR2000 travel router ($31). This little gem allows you to share one WiFi connection amongst numerous devices. I'm testing it now at a different Hilton. It works great. The technology is called "WISP mode". "In WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) mode, the device becomes a client to a wireless Internet service (such as a Wi-Fi hotspot) and shares that connection with its wireless clients." Here is an article on the topic.
