if you want to try a standalone router, I'd use a GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000).

If you just want an access router for your suitcase to run a firestick while stuck in a hotel room (Orlando during a hurricane), then the beryl will do the trick

for a travel-router, for when you want to have a small, compact and power efficient device, the beryl is superior.
