      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.

                                  Yeah, it lacks that. But otherwise is a great price and looks decent. A TP-Link is what we moved to here now and it's working well.

                                    I found these guys on Amazon a few months ago looking for something else. I have not used or tried the products but looks like what you need.
