Travel WIFI to WIFI extender/booster

I am looking for a WIFI to WIFI extender/booster that is small enough for me to pack when I travel to get better and maybe more secure WIfI in a hotel room. I also expect to use it while traveling in my TT so would like to be able to get WIFI while outside the TT.

While I expect to travel with the booster, I will give up size to get grater range.

It would be nice if the booster had at least one wired LAN connection for a printer.

My budget is in the less than $50.00 range.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

Not quite
Unsecure means is not encrypted between you and the park access point
It means somebody with a sniffer, can monitor the Wi-Fi traffic
If they catch your signal they could possibly get your passwords etc when you input them to access your email etc..
It does not give then direct access to you pc
But it gives them info they can use to access your accounts
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

Then buy a mifi device from either Verizon (best coverage) or AT&T (second best) coverage. Both will at least be a secure network. Remember hotels, RV park WIFI are all unsecure. Meaning if your on it, everything and I mean EVERYTHING on your device can be available to anyone else on the network to steal from you.

I do not have a smart phone. Only a flip cell phone for talking. I do not do texting. I use a laptop for the web. Maybe I am old fashion.

I just use a $50 or so one from walmart that certainly could be tossed in a carry on bag/luggage/etc.

More secure might mean using a VPN. Hotel or campground wifi is just that. I have a Hootoo I normally use in the towrig as a media server. It can also be used as a wifi to wifi repeater. I can also plug into a hard line a transmit/split to wifi. It's a nice universal gadget. The Hootoo range is great for a hotel room. Not so great for a residential house. Our home router died once. Used the Hootoo as backup until the new home router arrived.
