Not sure, what you are really looking for and what does your travelling has to do with access point... Do you mean, that sometimes, when you stay away (hotel, office, etc.) the wifi signal which is there, is sometimes poor and you are looking for some device, that will make it stronger?

No. AP allows clients to connect to it, and itself is connected to the internet over cable (usually).

WiFi extender is an AP + another wireless device, that connects to some other network. WiFi extender is a client+AP in one device.

Our new RouterOS version can work in WiFi extender (repeater) mode. It will be able to connect to another AP and at the same time, serve Wireless internet locally as an AP. Use the "repeater" mode: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:In ... s#Repeater
