You desperately need the
Linksys WTR54GS Wireless-G Travel Router with SpeedBooster. I absolutely LOVE mine! As a bonus, if you have more than one "trusted" computer (i.e. a spouse or colleage) within a few rooms of you, you can pay once and all of you can share the hotel's internet connection. It even does a wireless <-> wireless connection so that if the hotel
only offers wireless, you can still use it for protection and connection sharing.
