Airlines throttle per device, unfortunately.

These travel routers have an option to impersonate the device you are using to get round this.

The throttling is "per device", not "per type of device". If you connect 1 travel router and use it to share internet with >1 user, those users are sharing the capped capacity the plane gives to "one connected device".
