Top 5 Wi-Fi Hotspot Devices for Stable Internet Connectivity
Catching hold of a good internet connection in the metro, campsites, hotels, or even in some parts of your home, can be a tricky business. Catch hold of these portable hotspot devices that connect to various data networks to transmit a fresh, secure Wi-Fi network for your devices. They provide a stable internet connection even in tricky network areas, making them a must-have when outdoors.
While some may argue that the hotspot feature of smartphones serves a similar function, it drains the battery very quickly. Adding to it, connecting four to five devices to a smartphone hotspot at the same time may result in poor internet connectivity.
Similarly, public Wi-Fi connections are prone to security risks. Mobile hotspots, on the other hand, offer secure connections with encryption tools such as WEP and WPA. This keeps your connection safe from hackers and moochers.
In the following listicle, we have picked some of the popular hotspot devices in India that are frequently bought online. These have been reviewed by our editorial team based on battery life, user-friendliness, bandwidth, and customer reviews.
We recommend looking for the networks that work best in your area before finalising the hotspot device. Also, if you are planning on travelling abroad, don't forget to choose a data plan that'll best serve your purpose.
