Mobile Hotspot
What is a mobile hotspot?
A mobile hotspot (sometimes called a portable hotspot) is a hotspot that’s just that—mobile! While a “regular” WiFi hotspot is tied to a physical location, a mobile hotspot can make a data connection to connect your laptop, phone, Ipad or other mobile device to the Internet. This process is called “tethering.”
When would a mobile hotspot be useful?
A mobile hotpot might be useful in the following situations:
-If you are running out of data on your phone or mobile device.
-If ou want to work from outside- in your yard, at a park etc. and you do not have a WiFi connection.
-If you have multiple people using Wifi on their devices and your signal is weak or working slower then you like.
-If you are going away on vacation and don't have Wifi.
-If the power goes out and your router is not working but you need a Wifi connection.
