Well yes this does make sense as being helpful in that l. I actually typed a response specifically to this prior to yours yesterday evening, but forgot to send it and subsequently lost all of the text.
Since our house burned down December 12th, my family and I have been staying in a hotel suite two bedroom apartment. We'll be here until the house is completed which could be as much as another year from now. I had resorted to using my phone as a hotspot for Chromecast but quickly found out that each time I left and came back I had to set up Chromecast again. Unfortunately in this hotel Wi-Fi sucks.
What I reverted to was a travel router which plugs into the wall outlet next to a dataport, and a ethernet cable goes from the device to the data port and provides my own Wi-Fi local area network right here in the room. This results in better signal dispersion through the apartment and better throughput because the ethernet is much faster than the hotels on Wi-Fi.
Also we don't suffer with data slowdowns when the others are home during the evenings due to their being on the Wi-Fi and crowding the hotel Wi-Fi. This way the Wi-Fi is on 24/7 and so Chromecast and my Roku both remain connected and I can come and go as I please. Also my son gets faster Wi-Fi on his laptop and I don't have to constantly hear him complain if I haven't turned my hotspot on in my phone. Finally, since it's a private Wi-Fi network I really have a lot more security with regard to the computers being connected and I'm less at risk of having someone hack in and secure private data.
I'm surprised that the wired network isn't all that much faster than the Wi-Fi though, unless it's the travel router that's just not keeping up. I plan to purchase a full-blown router this afternoon and try it to see if it performs any better. We are seeing dolls and leg or on the date of communication with the private Wi-Fi, but it is significantly faster than the hotel's.
