This<br>should give me the option to share a single data package with my devices<br>as well as use my VPN. It features QoS and I'll be able to toggle what<br>devices can use it through the GUI.<br><br>It's not the suggestion you were looking for, but I thought I'd mention<br>it anyway.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I've used the HooToo for that. Not many features, but worked really well. </div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I'm not sure how the router can block by app, unless it is targeting destination ip ranges. How would it block twitter vs K-9 mail? I assume twitter uses https and I have K-9 Mail setup for imaps. Blanket blocking https would affect the google browser on the phone. <br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>My main issue with travel routers is gain and power on the wifi. When I moved, but before I sold my previous house, I made a small Linux router to use Xfinity wifi as a client and then give me Internet access from that location. I did have to write a program to submit the login form every 5 minutes to Xfinity to keep that location up 24x7. I ran it that way for 8 months.<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></div></div></body></html>
