Mobile Wifi

[telboy1938]

Could anyone suggest an alternative mobile WiFi unit other than Huawei ?
I have a Sky data sim and need to connect to the net occasionally when away from home. I have been using a Huawei WiFi for years along with Sky Sim but not always reliable. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Tel.

I doubt your reliability problems are caused by the device; consider changing your provider instead. 3 offer 4g coverage of the 99.8% of the UK outdoor population.

TechRadar is a site which I trust. Here's what they recommend:

I've never seen the need for such devices though. It makes more sense to me to ensure that you've got an adequate data allowance on your phone and then to use it as a mobile hotspot.

As TC says though, any reliability problems are probably linked to the the network you're using, rather than to a particular device. (Sky uses O2's masts)

BT wifi is my choice if I ever need a connection on my phone or laptop. We are with BT anyway so it is free to us. I believe that non BT customers can pay for daily or even hourly connection.

Buenchico, the mobile wifi device is necessary if there is more than one person in the group and only one has a mobile phone with tethering option. It means the others can access the wifi when the phone owner has gone out, taking his phone with him :)
