Description
A mobile hotspot is a small, battery-powered device that turns a cellular signal into a private WiFi network for your laptop, tablet, and other devices. This guide explains what a mobile hotspot is, how it works, and when you actually need one.
In under five minutes you will learn how a mobile hotspot pulls data from a 4G LTE or 5G network using a SIM card or eSIM, how it differs from phone tethering and public WiFi, the five situations where a dedicated hotspot makes sense, and the five specs that separate a good hotspot from a frustrating one. We cover cellular standards, WiFi 6, 6E and 7, device capacity, battery life, and WPA3 security so you can choose with confidence.
