FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Opting for a dedicated WiFi hotspot over phone tethering offers substantial benefits for users in need of stable and fast internet connectivity. Dedicated hotspots generally outperform phone tethering in speed, coverage, and the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously. They also provide enhanced security features to protect your personal data, an aspect where phone tethering may be lacking. While using a smartphone as a hotspot is convenient for occasional use, a dedicated hotspot device is a superior option for those requiring reliable, secure, and high-performance WiFi access on the go.

A: Dedicated mobile WiFi hotspots work by connecting to a mobile network and then broadcasting a WiFi signal that your other devices can connect to, just like a home wireless router, but portable. They require a SIM card and a data plan from a mobile operator to access the mobile network. Once activated and set up, these devices can provide internet access to laptops, tablets, and other WiFi-enabled devices, offering a secure and reliable connection. This makes them ideal for use while traveling, in areas without reliable internet access, or as a backup internet source.

A mobile WiFi hotspot is a portable device, providing internet access on the go. The 5G WiFi router connects to a mobile internet service provider and broadcasts a signal which allows people near the device to connect their wireless enabled devices to the internet. It enables internet access anywhere, anytime. Additionally the powerful portable router has an Ethernet port enabling connections for local wired devices. NETGEAR offers a range of top quality mobile WiFi solutions, including mobile hotspots, such as the Nighthawk M6 5G WiFi 6 Mobile Router which provides maximum flexibility and top level performance.

Portable Wi-Fi hotspots are ideal if you travel for work or pleasure and need reliable, secure internet connection for multiple devices. NETGEAR Nighthawk mobile routers deliver superfast wireless speeds on par with home WiFi systems making them ideal for heavy usage such as streaming UHD video or uploading files on the go. Using a mobile phone can be good enough for light tasks but will be a drain on the battery and data plan. When you need secure, high-performance WiFi, Nighthawk delivers vastly superior results.

The use of portable WiFi hotspots on airplanes is subject to the same restrictions as mobile phone connections during flights. To comply with in-flight regulations, it is necessary to set all phones and devices to "Airplane Mode." This action disables the emission of WiFi signals to prevent interference with the aircraft's navigation and communication systems. Many airlines offer onboard WiFi services, allowing you to connect to the internet while adhering to safety guidelines.
