Background Information
A portable WiFi hotspot, also known as a mobile hotspot, is a device that allows you to connect to the internet wirelessly from anywhere, as long as you have cellular coverage. It essentially acts as a small wireless router that broadcasts a WiFi signal, allowing you to connect your smartphone, laptop, tablet, or any other WiFi-enabled device to the internet.
Portable WiFi hotspots are usually small, battery-powered devices that can fit in your pocket or backpack, making them ideal for people who are always on the go or need internet access in places where there is no WiFi available. They work by connecting to a cellular network, typically through a SIM card, and then broadcasting a WiFi signal that you can connect to with your device.
Many smartphones can also act as portable WiFi hotspots by creating a WiFi network that other devices can connect to. However, using your phone as a hotspot can quickly drain its battery and eat up your data plan, which is why many people choose to use dedicated portable hotspots instead.
