That's awesome! Didn't know they had a battery powered version.
Not for a LONG time, dude. If this gets dropped for some reason, it's the TP-Link TL MR3040 router, which you can very easily make into a pirate box.
Release an seeding OS firmware for the Arm sticks/SOCs (Rasbery Pi) and devices like the TP-Link MR3020 & TP-Link MR3040 and we can have this running in no time. Just load them up with massive storage full of media and leave the unit in the corner.
Here is a similar concept.

I just flashed a MR3040, it's basically the same thing, for 25$ on amazon.

It's good for quick backups and moving files around. I leave it on in my bag and log in from time to time to see if anyone noticed it.
I have heard (sorry, I don't have any sources) that the very small wifi dongles use a lot of processor time and board power, and that they simply aren't great for the RPi 2. I've certainly had a lot of trouble with them.
I've been using a https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PPFP4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (with open source firmware) configured in bridge mode. It's had MUCH better network performance then the dongles I've tried.
If you're comfortable with a little router hackery, I suggest this approach (but probably with a newer router than that one).

I ordered the TP-Link TL-MR3040 from Amazon and it arrived today. I just got back from testing it out in the field with a 5D Mark III broadcasting to my Nexus 10 running DSLR Controller and it worked beautifully. It's always worked wired without a problem but now it even works wirelessly.
Sorry but I only have These Instructions on how to get DSLR Controller to work with an iPad.

Maybe? I used to have one, but never used it in that fashion. I think the ERL will support dual WAN failover.
Yes /u/legendofchin97 and /u/Heiminator you can create your own local wireless network and use it for filesharing.
A device like this could work, and as a bonus it has a small built in battery:

It it does add extra cost and component, but probably would be the easiest way. Tons of other uses for this as well.
Edit: Just saw that you didn't want to carry a portable access point with you, so sorry about that; however, I will say this is quite small, fits easily in your palm and the battery can last for a few hours on average.
Any home wireless router will do exactly that, convert from ethernet to wifi. As for battery powered, that's a harder requirement.
Maybe this portable router would do the job : TP-Link TL-MR3040 Battery powered router.
The direct route is to buy the MicroUSB>Ethernet adapter assuming your mobile device supports it.
Another solution is to pick up a travel router (optionally with a built in battery like http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-MR3040-Wireless-Portable-Compatible/dp/B0088PPFP4 ) . Just plug that into the new router you're setting up. Set it to an SSID saved on your phone/tablet and configure the router that way. Make sure you're using it in AP mode to minimize any complications. If you're really savvy you could make it one button by scripting it in Android (assuming that's your mobile OS) to log into the router with the default pass and configure the router to whatever settings are standard.
Camrangers are just rebranded TP-Link routers (as in, if you open a camranger the tp-link branding is literaly still inside) and their custom app.
You can get a router for $25 and DSLRdashboard for free. Flash the router firmware in 5 minutes with this tutorial, and you've saved yourself about $275 over a Camranger.
I'm on Nikon and Android, so it works perfectly for me. I've talked to one person that thought he had heard that DSLRdashboard won't work between a 5D and ipad unless it's jailbroken, but I found this post from someone doing just that, and no other accounts that say it doesn't work, so I can't say for sure.
You can also test out the app before you go through the trouble with the router, or if range isn't important, forgo the router altogether and just run tethered with a usb OTG plug. That's what I do most of the time.
Same here, but I got this one ... it's one of my most important travel items.
The issue with a blue flag isn't that someone may know in advance that it means you're trying to be friendly, it's that they may misinterpret it altogether. Maybe a blue flag represents a local gang or something. Most people are good to each other and imo travelers are some of the best people out there, but still. I'm just sayin' a solid color flag may create an opportunity for miscommunication.
I agree the piratebox is a specialized solution. But there's no reason it can't go viral. All you need is something like this and software from here.
Low tech is also good. What do you think about QR codes? You can scan them from 50 yards.
TP-Link TL-MR3040 a small battery powered wireless router with a USB port. It's easy to install OpenWRT and in turn OpenVPN.
If you don't mind a slight lag, you can save some money and use an app if you're on Android. I use one of 2 apps that display the live view on my phone and has remote control features.
DSLR Controller is a more basic app that does this. but I prefer qDSLRDashboard as it offers many more features -- just not free and I can't recall the price.
I got a hotshoe mount for my phone like this one, but not this one and a USB OTG adapter like this and connect the phone to my DSLR via USB.
Benefits are the phone (or tablet) then displays my camera's live view, the touch screen becomes the camera's touch screen for things like touch to focus, the apps can control the camera and use their own overlays (I like qDSLRDashboard's focus peaking feature).
Bonus: Both support live view over WiFi and you can install custom firmware on a TP-Link TL-MR3040 portable router, then plug the router into your camera and have wireless control via either app to your camera.
There's a slight delay between the camera and what's displayed on phone, more so over wifi. So if you need precision, this isn't your answer. But if you want something kinda fun and cheaper than a monitor, give this a shot.
