Just ordered a an ASUS WL-330NUL as it can WiFi to WiFi, wired to WiFi, wired to USB and WiFi to USB; both ways, and can do MAC spoofing so that you only need to captive portal once.
Thanks David Conran for writing this:
It most certainly does wifi to wifi.
I’ve used it extensively to do that. Even powering it off a USB battery pack to give me decent wifi in the rest of the room, where I could only get the hotel wifi next to the room door.
Yes, it means you can run a chromecast on it. I’ve done this regularly. i.e. This router and a chromecast are part of my travel kit.
Other pluses are, all my phones/tablets/laptops know the SSID/password of the 330NUL. No config needed, just sign into the router(*) and connect to it to the hotel wifi (once per first visit) and then when you sign in to the hotel wifi on one of your devices, you’ve signed in for all of them. Yay for NAT.
(* The only negative issue I have with the 330NUL, is you can’t change the fecking login password on it. It’s printed on the side though and is pseudo random.)
