With a correctly designed enclosure (chamfered edges, black), it might not look all that suspicious tucked away somewhere charging a phone.

Not that much larger than those big block laptop adaptors, black injection molding would make it look pretty legit.

#5There's a TP-Link WR810N, that looks quite a lot like a knockoff Mac charger. Can run OpenWRT, though a lot less well equipped than the device in the linked article.

#7How can you leave that 'in a McDonalds for days'? I bet it would be nicked within the hour (by someone thinking it's just a charger).

I use their updated version, advertised as a travel router. It is pretty small and I carry it while traveling.

The 1st Gen Apple Airport Express, with the wall plug, was once a good option.

Perhaps a wall-plug air-freshener form factor would last longer?
