grandstream gxp-2000 works fine for that.
depending on firmware rev its two ports are either a switch or router.

seemed to work fine once configured just plug in wherever and it

other annoying issue is with the "free" internet provided at some hotels 
and hotspots, its really only free http so unless you have an http 
tunnel to somewhere with real access, not much actually works.
