Mobile device with a built-in modem supporting E-SIM technology
Hi, do you have any questions about portable modems or routers that support E-SIM "virtual SIMs" instead of traditional physical cards?
A solid 5G router offers much stronger reception compared to a phone, and it maintains hotspot functionality even after periods of inactivity. Based on your signal quality and required reliability, a phone might become inconvenient.
I spent many years relying on my cell phone as the main WAN connection. There are solutions available. The main thing needed is at least three strong 4G LTE signals, which was sufficient for playing games even in tough situations (back then there were only about 2200 rated arenas in WoW, placing the top players in the top two percent—nothing to worry about). For someone like you, if the device isn’t being used as a regular smartphone, positioning it for better reception becomes much simpler.
It's true portable routers are generally less ideal. They tend to rely on outdated tech compared to modern phones, missing features like carrier aggregation. If you value mobility, consider using your existing phone plan instead of buying a separate device.
It’s being asked because using an e-SIM offers flexibility and compatibility with modern devices.
