Hi everyone, I'm seeking guidance on purchasing a 4G Wi-Fi router or Mi-Fi hub. I reside in the UK and have a caravan serving as my holiday home in a rural setting. A wired broadband connection isn't feasible or cost-effective for my situation. Since I'm only there occasionally, a Pay-as-you-go service would suit me well, allowing me to top up data as needed. My budget is around £100 for the router. I've explored 4G Wi-Fi and Mi-Fi hubs but am unsure about their differences and which offers the best value. My needs include checking emails, streaming video, and possibly making Zoom or Teams calls. I've considered routers like the ones listed but haven't decided which is optimal. I'm also thinking of pairing them with a data-only SIM from EE, Three, or Vodafone. Any experienced networkers would appreciate your advice on the best choice or alternative options? TIA DC
