Andy,
Thank you so much for your explanation, I didn’t know the ground rules.

 

You have always been so helpful and knowledgeable.

Nope “travelbug11”—others on our TA told us too many people were streaming on their devices.

Yes, here are the ground rules I posted yesterday.

I do have a Asus 330 travel router for this purpose.  But I was hoping to not bring it. 

Using that travel router always seems to require 15 min of debugging / fiddling with settings at a moment when I least want to do that.

 

On the other hand,  it would be a lot lighter than a long HDMI cable. That cable in the pic above weighs a ton. Much less suitcase space too.

 

And, this would be a way around the device limit without needing to convince anyone to increase my limit since I'm paying for 2 people but I'm only 1 person :-). 

 

@ericosmith which travel router do you use? 

 

I use a HooToo Trip Mate.  It has a built in battery so it can be used for a time without power or it can also charge or power a phone.  Can also attached usb storage to it so it can act as shared file storage.
