I have tried this in a few hotels, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. What you need to do is plug into the hotel room's wired internet connection through your WAN port, and in theory, you should be able to make that connection wireless.
However, depending on how the hotel's network is setup, it may not work. A couple of important things to remember:
- If your router has an access point mode or a bridge mode, use that.
- If you don't have encryption on your wireless signal, someone else could connect to it. That could expose your laptop to threats, and it would also mean that if the guy in the room next door is searching for kiddie porn, it'll be going through your room's connection.
