EE PAYG 4G Mobile WiFi 120GB

Product Information

While the EE 4G WiFi is designed primarily for travel, it could also suit as a temporary Wi-Fi solution when your home Wi-Fi is down or yet to be installed, since there’s no setup required and it’s available on 30-day plans (as well as some longer plans). Setup These prices make the EE 4G WiFi one of the most expensive 4G mobile broadband options available, but it’s in line with what we’d expect from EE’s pricing, and as noted EE is quite possibly the fastest 4G network – lots of tests certainly suggest so. Alternatives Three 4G Plus MiFi Your Smart Hub connects to the Smart Hybrid Connect device so if your broadband connection ever goes down, you will stay connected using the EE 4G mobile network. 4G speeds vary by location, coverage and demand. For use in a fixed location only. 24 month minimum term. 4G coverage required. Your speed guarantee does not apply when you are using a Smart Hybrid Connect device. See ee.co.uk/terms for full terms and conditions. And even if there is Wi-Fi available, the EE 4G WiFi can make for a better choice than public Wi-Fi, as it’s guaranteed to be more secure, potentially faster, and doesn’t make you register or pay like some public Wi-Fi does. The EE 5G WiFi is a battery-powered mobile Wi-Fi device with its own SIM card. So, once the device is set up (more on which below) and charged, you simply switch it on, and it will beam out a Wi-Fi network, powered by 5G (or whatever the best mobile connectivity available on EE where you are is).

This also all makes the EE 4G WiFi potentially faster than standard fibre broadband, but nowhere near as fast as full fibre (also known as fibre to the premises) or as 5G, both of which offer peak speeds of around 1Gbps. None of this is specific to the EE 5G WiFi, but as noted it’s EE’s network that will be the biggest factor in terms of performance, so you can expect results along these lines. Router features

How growing data add-ons work

Note however that other mobile broadband routers are similarly simple to set up, so this is an advantage of the device category as a whole rather than just of the EE 4G WiFi. Performance and speeds The EE 4G WiFi is available on both 1-month and 24-month plans, so you can choose whether you want a short term plan with no commitment or whether you’re likely to hold onto the device for a long time – in which case a 24-month plan is a good option, as these cost less per month and nothing upfront.

The EE 4G WiFi then is the more affordable choice if you want to bring Wi-Fi to all your gadgets when out and about. And given that 4G coverage is far more widespread than 5G, you wouldn’t always benefit from a faster 5G model anyway.The other main feature of the EE 4G WiFi is its battery, which is quite small at 2,150mAh, but that should still be good for around 6 hours of life, so this can you see through a long journey or most of a day out. Plans The EE 4G WiFi can get up to 32 devices online. That’s in line with many rival products (some of which will be discussed below under the ‘Alternatives’ heading), and more than some. It should also be more than enough for most situations where mobile broadband is needed. At the time of writing EE only offers the EE 5G WiFi on 24-month plans, so you’re tied in for a long time, which is unfortunate. Of course, if you’re happy with a two-year plan then that won’t be a problem. The Three 4G Plus MiFi is a very similar device to the EE 4G WiFi, but of course it’s on Three’s network instead. It’s compact and has peak speeds of up to 300Mbps (though real world speeds are likely to be similar to EE’s offering). However, it supports half as many simultaneous connections at 16 – it is typically a lot cheaper though. Vodafone 4G Mobile Hotspot
