Is this any better than just doing Hotspot with wifi bridge? I just have my hotspot on my pixel for my devices to connect to. Pixel itself is connected to whatever "public wifi" is there.
Does that actually work? I don't think you can both have hotspot on and be connected to another network.
So… hear me out. Could I connect this to an airline’s paid in-flight WiFi network, and then broadcast an open network to effectively open up access to all other passengers for free? If enough WiFi pirates do this on flights perhaps it would kill paid WiFi entirely (just need enough Good Samaritans) (And yes I know there are other bypasses you can do like spoofing MAC addresses to get around some device count restrict…
Android phones can share their wifi connection like this.

The page doesn't even have a buy button. Why?
I never travel without my GL-AXT1800. Saved me so many times: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/ I’m actually on it right now.
Have you tried hooking it up to an Ethernet port in a hotel room like the one that the TV uses?
Some hotel rooms (particularly older business hotels) will have an ethernet port for the guest. These work maybe 50% of the time these days. Sometimes you can find a Ruckus AP in your room at outlet level, and these usually have several ethernet ports on the bottom. These also have a working port around 30% of the time.
So, TL;DR: various ethernet ports in hotel rooms work less than half the time these days.
Wonder how this will work to connect into hotel networks - on my glinet I have to clone my iPhone MAC address so I basically have to connect to the WiFi, do the with authentication enter room number and last name, then disconnect and boot up the router. Is there a better way to get these connected to a WiFi for relaying where the Ethernet isn't an option?

This rarely works. The TV network is usually access controlled, so you either won't get an IP or you simply won't have internet access.
