Wireless Travel Router?

I may have to do some traveling for training to a place that does not offer wireless, but does, supposedly, offer an ethernet connection in each room. All I care about is being able to stream Netflix, etc. to my iPad to keep my sanity. What am I looking for? I'm familiar with full size wireless routers but you need to hook them up to a desktop PC to configure them. I will only have a tablet and a phone.

I've got this travel router. For what it is I can't complain and you don't have to use a computer for configuration.

I have a Zoom travel router that also can use USB 3G cell modems and phones. But, it can also connect via Ethernet to a network and provide WiFi. It's old, but it has a replaceable battery, too. That's about the extent of my experience with "travel" routers. :) Usually I bring a DD-WRT device if I'm setting up WiFi for a group.

Thanks. That's the one I was considering.

As long as it can get me wireless connectivity in a dorm/barracks style room it's good enough for me.
