I have 2 laptops I need to connect for testing / coding via ssh, if I
connect each to the hotel wifi I cannot connect across laptops with
ssh,
If I grab a wifi router and connect it to the hotel wifi and use the
router's wifi will this work?
would it also work with a simple wifi extender?
Thanks for any advice

I have, in the past, successfully gotten around firewalls that only
allow http/https on tcp by setting the port for ssh to 80,8080,443 or
8443. I haven't tried it in a few years, though. I've heard that some
systems can inspect packets well enough to discern ssh on port 80, but
that never happened to me.
If the firewall is blocking 22 specifically and allowing other things
than http/https, then you can change it to anything else.
If the firewall is not blocking 22 to the world, but only between
machines behind the corporate wall, then you might be able to tunnel
packets through a man in the middle offsite.
Finally, make sure it's not just a IPv4 vs IPv6 thing. I've seen a
couple of routers that are set to IPv6 only. My laptop is set to use
IPv4 only for ssh, and I had to change that.
