Is it portable, and easy to set up? Would like to use it in hotel rooms if I travel with my mother.

It is portable but not discrete. It is easy to set up but large enough to not be inconspicuous in a hotel lobby. Comes as three pieces plus leg tips. Once it's assembled, you are likely to not want to disassemble for traveling.

This is not intended to be portable; but certainly could be. It is very lightweight (but sturdy). For most vehicles you would have to take the metal arm/legs out (they are a U shaped metal piece) and then replace once at your destination. You have to put it together like this when you first get it, so you'll see how easy they slip in place. The foot-pads would have to come off and on to enable you to dismantle when you travel as well. If you have a larger vehicle like a SUV you wouldn't have to take it apart at all. It will fit over most toilets (I would say all, but I'm sure there are exceptions).

It is portable light weight and easy to set up. The legs might not touch the ground a problem I experienced twice. I traveled with it at xmas and for security I used heavy duty tape and my 170lb mother was able to safely use it for two weeks with no problem and enjoyed the additional width.

It is very easy to set up and once you have it set up it would be realeasy to take anywhere.

It is very light weight, and easy to take apart and put together. It is not small, but we keep ours in a large plastic trash bag, and it can be flat and not take up too much space. Should fit most hotel rooms, with the caveat of another respondent who said higher handicapped toilets might be too high; in that case you wouldn't need it. Good luck.

I would say it's portable if you are traveling by car. The set up was easy all you have to do is stick the legs through the slots, but that did take some elbow grease, but was sturdy once put together. Unfortunately we found it to be too narrow for our needs, we had to return it.

Yes, it is portable. We kept our box and use it to transport to hotels. However, you have to confirm that the feet will reach the bathroom floor wherever you take it to. For this reason, we bought short bed risers to put under the feet.

Yes, as long as the toilet in a hotel room is a standard toilet. If the toilet is a handicapped accessible toilet (a little taller), it may not fit.

Cindi, this player is AC only (household current). It does not operate on batteries so it is not meant to be portable in that sense. It is, however, surprisingly small and light and when using the HDMI cable it is easy to move to another room/TV. Just one cable to plug in besides the power cord. I am quite happy with mine.

Quite well. Using this in China at the moment. Just be careful, some countries have issues with batteries in your checked baggage. Need to carry this as it it both battery booster and wireless router. Works great in hotel room to wired cable (an issue with I-Pads and Android devices with no wired network cable). Auto-switching transformer 110-240 VAC I believe. I have not yet been able to replicate a wireless network with it. Wired is perfect in countries that have few wireless networks in hotels, etc. Far East has more wired than wireless in hotel rooms. My hotel has wireless in lobby, this gives me one in the room as well... Quite well. Using this in China at the moment.

I just don't know. This is a very cool device but its not powerful enough for an adult; its good for a child or a senior....I have been thinking of buying on for my 83 year old mother..M

You can just plug it in and go, but there will be no security set. If you have provisioned other WAP's before this is fairly straight forward. It is capable of very sophisticated settings but will do basic office settings quite well. It takes me less than 10 minutes to set one up.

Thank you for responding. Could you please tell me what another option would be? I am thinking about its use while traveling in Asia without personal transportation.

It is certainly light but getting it configured takes some space and some effort. You might buy it, try it out at home, and then see if you consider it portable. I probably would not.

It is portable, but it only has about an 8 hr battery life on standby. Works well though with no interference from our other 2 monitors. Well worth the money.

Yes. It is SO EASY to set up as well. I love mine and have given it as a gift.

It is portable, however there is not a lot of clearance. If you go over any carpet/tile transitions when moving it, it gets hung up a little. It is a pretty stout unit, but does move fairly easily. Hope this is helpful.

No, It is not good for Hotel. However it is good for extending wireless connection in the home.

It is portable because the unit can be carried on to different spots where the power 120V AC outlet is available like in the office, the house or car (with 120V AC output plug). You're right it needs a standard 120V AC (household outlet) to make it work. Unlike other portable stuffs like portable CD, DVD...they can use it's internal compartment with batteries (DC powered)

The floor plan of my home is very open and much larger than a hotel room. This unit handles my home pretty well. I would assume it would be more than adequate for a hotel room. It is a small unit so it may be OK for travel. The price is up to you if you want to spend that much. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't necessarily call it portable -- it doesn't have handles to carry it and it isn't compact. But it is self-contained with speakers and can be moved without disconnecting components.

Sorry about the timing of my reply... but I would say for your situation you would be fine. You could manage the frame remotely as you described and your mother would not need a computer in her home. As long as there's wi-fi access you're good.

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.
