Does an EX6100 - provide any protection as a "travel router"?

Hi all

 

First post so please be gentle.

 

I will be away doing a course for 8 weeks and whilst the (cheap) hotel room I have rented has Wi-Fi I am concerned (but know little about) Wi-Fi security.  

 

Does using my EX6100 between the hotel Wi-Fi and my devices provide any security, it works great at home but that is through my Nighthawk AC1900?  

 

Should I be looking at purchasing dedicated "travel router".  

 

I liked the look of the N300 however it looks like it has been discontinued and Australian stock is non existent.  Any plans from NetGear to come out with a new "travel router" - I like to keep things simple & compatible with one brand?

 

Thanks Peter E.

The EX6100 does not have a firewall, so it does not provide any security.  Purchasing a travel router would help in this regard.
