Most newer (or at least new + expensive) phones can share their wifi connection via hotspot. 2.4gh only though I think.
Not only new and expensive, my 5 year old budget phone could do it (a vivo).

I’m seeing a lot of this same comment here, so I went to check out this tailscale thing, which clearly I must need. Can anybody explain what Tailscale is, does, or why everybody seems to have it? Looking at their website, it’s just a huge wall of business jargon. Really! Read it. It’s nothing but a list of enterprise terminology. There’s a “how it works “ page full of more (different) jargon, acronyms and buzzwords,…
Not sure if anybody gives you the answer to "what is tailscale?". So, this is my answer (hopefully it's correct and simple enough to understand). Tailscale allows devices that can access the Internet (no matter how they access the Internet) to see each other. To do that, you create a tailscale network for yourself, then connect your devices to that network, then your devices can see each other. Other devices that are…

Hotels in Las Vegas typically charge around $15/day per connected device. Want to download a new book on your Kobo and play Diablo for a few minutes? That’ll be $30, please! That’s the real win of a travel router, IMO.
Is this a common occurrence in the US? It sounds worse than tipping culture.

I’m using a GLinet GL-XE3000 for that and it’s great. Initial setup of the 5G eSIM on a physical SIM took a little searching but it’s been rock solid and having consistent access on the road and hotels has been great for family travel. It has a built-in battery, but I’ve never really tested the duration (I suspect it’s 3-6 hours) as I put it on its AC adapter in the hotel and the n a cigarette lighter adapter in the…
What is your usage scenario for this device? It's $400 and 3/4 kg.

Why do you need to config wireguard on each device? Connect your phone to your vpn and share the wifi. Works on my android. Struggling to see the value proposition for this device.
Do you have a pixel? On Samsung you cannot share WiFi, Hotspot only works with mobile connections. I learners above that this is possible with pixel phones, makes me want to get one...

This one has eSIM and dual physical SIM support.
This is incorrect. No sim support here, and no cellular modem either :-)

2 - without prior config only a bunch can do it, like pixels 3 - there's a difference - you can configure wg/ts on a single device(router) and it's done, or you need to do it on 5X+ devices, phones and laptops and fix the configs on all if something changes
I think every single pixel I've ever had could share wifi or 4g/5g.

I've been able to do WiFi-WiFi connection sharing on my last four Samsung phones as well
