      I'm worried about the wireless too. We need something really good.

      Maybe one of the new AmpliFI HD Mesh Router's? Amplifi Router 5 LAN ports and 1 WAN, I'm not seeing size or weight on the site.

      5 lbs or about 2.25 kgs.

      https://www.amazon.com/AmpliFi-High-Density-Home-Wi-Fi-System/dp/B01L9O08PW

      From the Amplifi datasheet (found it), 3.91"x3.85"x3.92" and 14.46oz.

      For those that don't know, Amplifi is Ubiquiti's new line of products aimed at the home market.

        Customs might have a problem with it? Tell them its your Mifi hotspot and they shouldn't have a problem with it. Business people travel with them all of the time.

        They look like commercial gear, though. They don't look homemade. How it looks is all that matters to border control.

        Not just border patrol.

          That's still really heavy.

              For travel, it seems like the cheapest, smallest thing that does the trick is the best option. You want something you don't care much about.

                That probably makes the most sense. I'm going to look into what the cheap Tenda will cost tomorrow, and if it is available just at the store.

                  Hello,

                  I usually use Mikrotik gear for this purpose. They have small, cheap, but very capable routers. They have integrated antennas, small footprint, very light. Look at https://routerboard.com/products/group/20

                    I forgot about them. I don't suppose there is a handy place to get them on Sicily?

                        You'd have to wait, but Dominica can bring it back with her in 2-3 weeks.

                          We've been considering that. That's why we are looking right now, if we are going to order something in the US, then we need to do so and get it shipped to her hotel ASAP.

                            None. There is one in Calabria and two in Malta. 😞

                                That $28 model looks pretty decent. How is the wireless range on it? Plugging straight into the wall is a pain as we need adapters for everything and European plugs tend to be really loose in rentals.

                                  While, it is a good device, that does nothing for your needs. It is only a range extender. That would help you not at all in the current situaiton where the router was crappign out continually.

                                    Then get this model, it uses micro USB - Likely your already travel with one of those cables 🙂

                                            Ah, I missed that on the first link. The second link is more obvious. Your other criteria was for a couple wired connections also though.
