Why use a portable router? Here are Netgear's recommendations

Thanks to the high temperatures and the desire to enjoy a well-deserved vacation, more and more people are about to leave for the summer holidays. From the mountains to the sea, from the lake to the cities of art, one of the problems that unites most of the travelers is that of having access to stable and secure WiFi connection.



Whether it is to follow a live streaming event or to play online, rely only on your smartphone used as a hotspot it's not always the best choice. For this reason Netgear illustrates the four main reasons so we should all purchase and use a portable router.

  • Safety: The WiFi network generated by a smartphone in hotspot mode is an open and vulnerable network. This means that it easily allows third parties to access all the contents of the smartphone and the various devices connected to it.
  • Reduced battery life of the phone: Due to high temperatures, the battery of your smartphone tends to drain more quickly. You just need to know that 2 hours of smartphone use as a hotspot, they are equivalent to more than 12 hours of standard use.
  • Maximum number of devices that can be connected: another limit of the smartphone used as a hotspot is the maximum number of devices that can be connected: that is, a maximum of 3. Furthermore, the smartphone does not guarantee the bandwidth required for each of them.
  • Reduced coverage e lack of control of connected devices: using the smartphone as a hotspot, it is not possible to monitor the activities carried out by the connected devices, the consumption of data, etc.

To overcome all these limits it is recommended to rely on a LTE portable router with SIM. With products Nighthawk, light, powerful, resistant and with one long battery life, Netgear meets the needs of anyone who needs powerful and performing WiFi.
