Leave behind your laptop, medications, and underwear next trip. The personal item under the seat on your next flight needs to be your smart plugs. They deserve a vacation, don't they?

What an opportunity for Hubitat-branded accessories! But it wouldn’t work for everyone because it’s not perfectly white.

I see what you did there.

Amazing marketing when you run out of ideas of what a generic case can hold.

I would need to also pack a spare hub, I can probably free up space in my wife's carryon by removing her 20,000 watt hair dryer and curling iron!

Setting up the hotel room or other public accommodation takes about 1 hour of telling the family not to connect to the public wifi. I have to get the portable WiFi router connected with a private VPN and all the home network toppings.

Do like this, and have to admit I did just get a GL-iNet Beryl travel router, and am going to be using it for wife and family to automatically connect through WireGuard VPN when taveling...but no hub. 
Wife likes "More secure connections" but will never get "Let's add a hub and door and window sensors to the hotel room!" (See bullet train PSA above.)

I would be curious to know how this router works out for you. I have been using a GL-inet Shadow travel router for a few years so my TV provider's app thinks I'm home when watching TV but being 2.4 only, the throughput with OpenVPN on the Shadow really drops off compared to what starlink delivers to the RV.

That is exact model I have. And it connects to my home VPN to leverage my adblocking, security etc. Nothing bad with tromboning in/out of the home network. In most cases it takes about 5 minutes to boot and connect. I have all the family devices already configured with the WiFi password for the device so they will automatically connect when the router is active.
Exactly what I'm planning. I tried setting up direct WireguardVPN on their phones, but they would either turn it off accidentally or intentionally when they shouldn't, or get confused when they saw the key indicator in the notifications. Just a big hassle.
Having everything work automatically is the only way it's ever going to work.

I've attached to my Wireguard VPN (running on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter12) quite a bit at my dad's house on 2.4, and I've always been able to stream Netflix, Hulu, etc without issue. Ever since I installed WireGuard I've been pretty much amazed by the speed I get doing things away from home when connected to it.

Unfortunately, I would have to setup yet another box to run Wireguard. My Asus router only supports openVPN.

Yup, really glad it runs natively on my router, makes it very simple. If you have an always on device in the house like a Windows PC or laptop or Mac laptop that stays in place/running, you can set up WG on that.
Run merlin on newer asus ie gtaxe11000 gt11000 pro gtaxe1600 it has both wireguard and openvpn

Can't run Merlin on this router and it's not EOL yet so I hate to replace it.
It's the main router with a wired back haul to the older Asus in the shed. Overall it works quite well for me being consumer grade product.
I don't use the VPN to watch TV much. Basically only for some network TV. For sports I use the FanDuel app and my spectrum credentials.
Anyway, enough that hijacking. A big sorry to the OP
