Connecting Public WiFi Hotspot to a LAN router
My home is within 100 feet of an AT&T Hotspot and I am an AT&T customer. The signal is strong and I would like to use that WiFi source by connecting to my home WiFi router (TL-WR1043ND) to connect non-WiFi wired devices. What TP-Link product do I need to accomplish this?

That is an option, but it requires reconfiguring everything currently on my TP-link router to a new router. I'lltake a look at the features of the portable, but I think it would be lacking compared to my WR-1043N.

If you setup the network name and password as the same thing you should not have to reconfigure any client device. The TL-WR902AC has the added feature of 5GHz AC WiFi but you would need a switch for physical devices. You could use the 1043 by disabling the wireless and DHCP and turning the router into a aforementioned switch.
