The main benefit of a travel router is creating a private network, and sharing a wifi connection. An iPhone can't do that, though Android phones can.

> though Android phones can

Interesting, as someone who has always used iPhones, wouldn't mind getting an Android phone for this.

Is there some app?

No it's provided as part of the Android OS. Very simple and intuitive to use and has been for the past 10 years since I started using it. The only thing that was annoying initially was that you couldn't pass through the WiFi that your phone is connected to but I think that was corrected in later versions of Android. For a time I was using one of my older Pixel phones as a WiFi extender to improve signal in my home's basement. Worked like a charm. I'm honestly surprised this isn't available on iOS.

Some third party WiFis limit the number of devices. This gets around that limit.

Sharing where? All my devices can connect directly thru to Wireguard vpn on my home network. Ipad, iphone, MBP, etc

A 5g phone tethering to your Wireguard connected MBP beats this out of the water

You are in a hotel, you have a wife two kids. So assume 4 phones, 3 laptops, an ipad, and maybe a chromecast. It is faster and easier and more private to use a travel router, connect to wifi, and create a private network than tp connect and authenticate (and possible pay fees) for every device.
